Inductive reactiance is the AC resistance of an inductor. It turns out that an inductor impends AC current in much the same way a DC current (or even AC current, for that matter [with exceptions at higher frequencies]) is impeded by a resistor.
Ohms law for resistance:
V = I*R where *I* is the current and *R* is the resistance
works the same for reactance:
V = I*X where *I* is the constant frequency AC current and *X* is the reactance.
Now, there are other things going on such as phase shifts between the voltage and current (voltage leads current in an inductor).
The rest can be gleaned from a text book or by Google search.
It means that when current flow from wire then flex produce around it and due to self induction emf induced across the two ends of the coil and this induced current will start flow in opposite to the direction of main current and this opposition is called reactance???
