Inductive Reactance conversion calculator

Enter F and L to calculate for XL and BL

Inductive Reactance Calculator Formula

XL = 2 × π × F × L

BL = 1000 / XL

Formula Explanation

The Inductive Reactance conversion calculator determines the opposition of an inductor to alternating current. XL represents the inductive reactance in ohms, calculated as 2π times the frequency (F) multiplied by the inductance (L). BL is the corresponding inductive admittance, given in millimhos, which is the reciprocal of reactance scaled by 1000.

Uses of Inductive Reactance conversion calculator

  • Designing RF circuits that include inductors.
  • Calculating impedance for AC circuit analysis.
  • Optimizing filters and resonant circuits.
  • Educational use for understanding inductive behavior in electronics.
  • Estimating admittance in signal processing and antenna systems.

Formula Example

For an inductor of 500 nH at 100 MHz:

XL = 2 × π × 100×10⁶ × 500×10⁻⁹ ≈ 314.16 Ω

BL = 1000 / 314.16 ≈ 3.183 m-mhos

This shows the inductor offers approximately 314 ohms of reactance, with an admittance of 3.183 millimhos at 100 MHz.
