This calculator finds the total reactance (imaginary value) of a capacitor and an inductor in series.
The total reactance (XT) of a capacitor and a inductor in series at a particular frequency can be calculated using the following equations.
![[Equations for Xc, Xl and total reactance Xt]](../../images/capacitor-inductor-series2.svg "Capacitor and Inductor in Series Equation")
Where:
f is the Frequency in Hz
C is the Capacitance in Farads
L is the Inductance in Henries
XC is the Capacitive Reactance in Ohms
XL is the Inductive Reactance in Ohms
