Reactance is the imaginary component (X) of complex impedance in AC circuit analysis, quantifying opposition to sinusoidal current arising from energy storage rather than resistive dissipation. Parameters: (1) inductive reactance X_L = ωL (positive, from inductors storing energy in magnetic fields); (2) capacitive reactance X_C = -1/(ωC) (negative, from capacitors storing energy in electric fields). Persistence mechanism: phasor-domain circuit analysis where reactance enables frequency-dependent circuit design through complex impedance arithmetic.

Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves reactance: imaginary component of impedance, energy storage vs resistive dissipation. Parameters stated, persistence mechanism clear. Trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Reactance definition correctly specifies the concept (imaginary component of impedance), parameters (inductive/capacitive types, frequency dependence), and persistence mechanism (AC circuit analysis). Properly carved, scoped, and ends with correct trailer format.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly carves reactance: imaginary component of impedance, energy storage vs resistive dissipation distinction, inductive and capacitive formulas. The trailer parameters are appropriate.
Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition of reactance correctly states parameters (inductive vs capacitive, sign conventions), persistence mechanism (circuit analysis practice), and ends with the proper Law 6 trailer. It carves the concept clearly.
