How could i Describe Inductive Reactance and Capacitive Reactance in simple terms?

please help me i go to ITT TECH and i have to do a slide show and this is two of my words

Inductive reactance is the effect felt in a circuit when a coil is introduced, as it will offer resistance to the circuit, it is measured in ohms the formula for its calculation is

XL =2πfl XL being the reactance f = frequency and L = henries

Capacitive reactance is the same as Inductive reactance when a capacitor is introduced, with the reactance being measured in ohms

XC = 1/2πfc XC being the reactance f = frequency and c = capacity in farads

Z= √R²±(XL­-XC)²

Z= total impedance

R = any resistive value in the circuit

XL = Inductive Reactance

XC = capacitive Reactance

Regard π as a value of 3.142

This will give you the total impedance in an AC circuit

If this is not quite accurate forgive me it is 40 years since I did my training

by utilising definition, inductive reactance = w*L and capacitive reactance = a million/w*C. because w = 2*pi*f, the place f is the frequency, an enhance in frequency will enhance the reactance of an inductor and reduces the reactance of a capacitor.
