Inductive Reactance

Calculate AC inductive reactance from frequency and inductance.

How this calculator works

Enter frequency (hz), inductance (mh). CalcStack applies the displayed formula and reports each intermediate planning value with the units shown.

Formula / method

X_L = 2πfL

Worked example

A 100 mH inductor at 60 Hz has reactance about 37.699 Ω.

Assumptions and limitations

Inductance is constant and parasitic resistance/capacitance are negligible.

Core saturation, frequency-dependent loss and self-resonance are excluded.
