A current flows through the capacitor whether it is charging or discharging, and this current is limited by the impedance that is present within the capacitor itself. This type of internal impedance is typically referred to as Capacitive Reactance, and in ohms, it is represented by the symbol X_C.

It is determined by applying the formula that is as follows:

Where,

f – Frequency
C – Capacitance
π (pi) – 3.14
X_C – Capacitive Reactance
