[psychology] Reactance is a motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, or regulations that threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. Reactance occurs when a person feels that someone or something is taking away his or her choices or limiting the range of alternatives. Reactances can occur when someone is heavily pressured to...

• (n.) The influence of a coil of wire upon an alternating current passing through it, tending to choke or diminish the current, or the similar influence of a condenser; inductive resistance. Reactance is measured in ohms. The reactance of a circuit is equal to the component of the impressed electro-motive force at right angles to the current ...

(X) Measured in ohms, reactance measures how a change in electrical current or voltage affects a component. The variable X represents reactance in calculations. The difference between reactance and resistance is that reactance measures the change where resistance measures the constant value. Reactance is measured in ohms
