उत्तर
Capacitor reactance is the resistance offered by a capacitor when it is connected to an electric circuit. It is given by
`X_C=1/(omegaC)`
where
ω = Angular frequency of the source
C = Capacitance of the capacitor
The SI unit of capacitor reactance is ohm (Ω).

During a thunder storm, the movement of water molecules within the clouds creates friction, partially causing the bottom part of the clouds to become negatively charged. This implies that the bottom of the cloud and the ground act as a parallel plate capacitor. If the electric field between the cloud and ground exceeds the dielectric breakdown of the air (3 × 106 Vm–1), lightning will occur.
