TO instances of electronics and also electrical engineering, the word reactance designates the opposition generated by the passage of alternating current, either by inductors and capacitors. Let us remember that the alternating current is that type of current characterized by having a cyclically oscillating magnitude and direction.
The reactance, according to International System of Units, is measured in the unit ohm, which derives from electrical resistance.
It should be noted that the reactance, together with the electric resistance, are the two issues that will lead to the impedance of a circuit, which is the magnitude that determines the relationship between voltage and current intensity.
Depending on the element through which the alternating current circulates, the Energy will be released as: magnetic field, whether it is coils, or electric field if it's capacitors.
And in another area in which the word reactance appears as a prominent concept is in the psychology
, in this context is used to designate that type reaction emotional that is in contradiction with rules that eliminate some freedoms present in the conduct of the individual in question.One of the situations in which this type of reaction is usually triggered is when a person feels very pressured to accept a attitude or a point of view on an issue that involves you. So, a common consequence of this situation is that the affected person accepts or hardens their position, which is in the antipodes to which they propose, in addition to strongly resisting the persuasion.
Put in some examples the question can be seen more clearly... One person is more interested in another because he repeatedly says no. In other words, that recurring refusal makes him appreciate her and want her by her side even more.
Also, when someone tells another that he prefers not to do such a thing but actually wants him to do it, what he is doing is use reverse psychology and then when I say no, the other will probably say why he tells me not to do it, then yes I will make.
It is extremely common for this psychological reaction to arise in people when a threat to Liberty.
