Capacitive and inductive reactance in ac circuits | Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry Online Academy

In this video Chris demonstrates an experiment with inductive reactance in an electrical circuit. The setup includes a 12V power supply, a momentary switch, a 68-ohm resistor, a lamp, and a three-henry inductor. The host shows how current behaves differently through a resistor versus an inductor. First, the resistive lamp lights up as expected. When the inductor is added, the second lamp lights up more slowly due to inductive reactance, causing the current to "lag" behind. This delay occurs beca
