If not, here is a walk through to get the reactance of a capacitor: For a capacitor i = C * dv/dt Therefore, v = 1/C * integral(i, 0 , t) + V0. Now the laplace transform is defined as follows I(s) = integral(i(t) * exp(-s*t), 0, inf) Now the cool thing is, if we integrate I(t) prior to performing the laplace transform we will get i2(t) = integral(i(t)) I2(s) = I(s)/s Applying this rule to our formula for v we get V(s) = 1/(C*s)*I(s). the reactance is just the imaginary part of the resistance of a component, therefore the reactance is: 1/(C*j*2*pi*f) Last edited: Jan 14, 2009
