VVV   REACTANCE IS A VERY DESCRIPTIVE TERM.IT IS USED TO DESCRIBE 
THE FACT THAT BOTH INDUCTANCE AND CAPACITANCEREACT TO CHANGES, 
PARTICULARLY SUDDEN CHANGES.   THE KEY POINTS ARE THAT INDUCTANCE 
REACTS TO CHANGES IN CURRENT FLOW THROUGH THE INDUCTOR, AND 
CAPACITANCE REACTS TO CHANGES IN VOLTAGE ACROSS THE CAPACITOR. 
THESE RAPIDITY OF THESE CHANGES ARE BASED ON EVENTS PER SECOND. 
 I.E. CYCLES PER SECOND, OR AS HERTZ.   VVV   AN INDUCTOR REACTS 
TO AN INCREASE IN CURRENT FLOW BY A VOLTAGE THAT IS COUNTER 
TO THE APPLIED VOLTAGE. THIS VOLTAGE IS CALLED COUNTER ELECTROMOTIVE 
FORCE, KNOWN AS CEMF. THIS CEMF OPPOSES THE INCREASE IN CURRENT, 
AND THE MORE RAPID THE CHANGE IN CURRENT, THE MORE THE OPPOSITION 
TO THOSE CHANGES.   THE CEMF WILL ALSO OPPOSE DECREASES IN CURRENT, 
BY A VOLTAGE THAT AIDS THE SOURCE VOLTAGE, AND THEREBY TRIES 
TO MAINTAIN THE PRESENT CURRENT FLOW.   BECAUSE EVENTS PER SECOND 
ARE CONSIDERED CYCLIC, AND CYCLIC INDICATES CIRCLES, THE FORMULA 
FOR INDUCTIVE REACTANCE HAS TWO TIMES PI AS A CONSTANT, WITH 
THE RAPIDITY AS FREQUENCY IN HZ.   THE RESULTING INDUCTIVE REACTANCE 
IS ALSO DEPENDANT ON THE AMOUNT OR VALUE OF INDUCTANCE IN HENRYS. 
 THE ACTUAL FORMULA THEN IS SIMPLY THE 2 PI, TIMES THE FREQUENCY, 
TIMES THE VALUE OF INDUCTANCE, GIVING A VALUE OF INDUCTIVE REACTANCE 
IN OHMS.SIMPLY STATED, THE INDUCTIVE REACTANCE IN OHMS INCREASES 
LINEARALLY  AS THE FREQUENCY INCREASES.
