Back

To store energy in a magnetic field.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the capacitance of a capacitor?

Back

C = Q/V, where C is capacitance, Q is charge, and V is voltage.

Front

What is the formula for calculating inductive reactance?

Back

X_L = 2πfL, where X_L is inductive reactance, f is frequency, and L is inductance.
