Reactance is measured in ohms. By convention inductance produces a positive reactance while capacitance has a negative reatance. This is a convention that is consistent with a time-dependecy of exp(+jwt).
Inductive reactance is traditionally positive while capacitive reactance is traditionally negative. Those are the conventions used by electrical engineers and they are consistent with a time-dependency of exp(+jwt).
Inductive reactance, XL, in ohms, is given by:XL = 2 pi f Lwhere:f = frequency (Hz)L = inductance (H)
Inductive reactance does NOT have it own sign or symbol. Rather, it uses Ohms as a quantifier. But Capacitive reactance ALSO uses Ohms as a quantifier. Fortunately, 1 Ohm of Inductive reactance is cancelled by 1 Ohm of Capacitive reactance at the same frequency of measurement.
Inductive reactance is a resistance by inductors to the change of current flow, and is dependent on the frequency at which the current oscillates. DC current flows in only one direction so an inductor's impedance remains the same.
Inductive reactance, as well as capacitive reactance, is measured in ohms.
ohms
The symbol for inductive reactance is XL.
Inductive reactance is directly proportional to frequency. This means that as the frequency of an AC circuit increases, the inductive reactance also increases. Conversely, as the frequency decreases, the inductive reactance decreases.

It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!

Inductive reactance, as well as capacitive reactance, is measured in ohms.
Susceptance is the reciprocal of reactance, and is expressed in siemens (symbol: S). So, inductive susceptanceis the reciprocal of inductive reactance, and capacitive susceptance is the reciprocal of capacitive reactance.
Yes. Inductive and capacitive reactance is measured in ohms, and it is entirely possible for reactance to be greater than 1,000, or even 1,000,000, ohms. It all depends on frequency.
