How is inductive reactance expressed in an AC circuit?

Inductive reactance is a measure of the opposition that an inductor presents to the flow of alternating current (AC). It is calculated using the formula ( X_L = 2\pi f L ), where ( X_L ) is the inductive reactance, ( f ) is the frequency of the AC signal in hertz, and ( L ) is the inductance in henries. The resulting unit of inductive reactance is ohms (Ω), which is a standard unit of measurement for resistance and reactance in electrical circuits. This aligns with the concept that all forms of opposition to current flow, whether resistive or reactive, are expressed in ohms. The other units mentioned, such as farads for capacitance, henries for inductance, and volts for voltage, do not pertain to the specific measurement of inductive reactance. This makes it clear that ohms are the correct unit for expressing inductive reactance in an AC circuit.
