My notes say reactance is the magnitude of impedance, so I assume it means this:
[tex] |Z| = \sqrt{X^2 + Y^2} [/tex]
but this is contradicted by numerous internet sources I've read which say that it is the magnitude of the complex part of impedance [tex] |Y| [/tex] . Could someone clarify this?
I'm more inclined to trust the internet given my lecturer is an Astronomer :P
