reaction status

A reaction status is a Facebook status posted purely because the person posting it is aware that it will have a reaction (a large number of comments/likes)

A common 'reaction status' is seen after a popular TV show, when people post funny lines from the show knowing that people will be logging into Facebook shortly afterwards.

"How good is half term?" (obviously half term is good, but why would you say this for any other reason than to get a reaction? Reaction Status.)

"Remember when everyone used to have a Nokia 3310?" (The person posting this knows everyone had a 3310. They said so in their post. So why ask? Reaction Status.)

*any line from The Inbetweeners* (People posting these know large numbers of people watch The Inbetweeners, and often actually race to be the first to post a funny line, in order to secure the most comments/likes. Reaction Status.)

reactivist

A person who immediately supports either physically, vocally, or interactively a cause or movement on the merit of how they feel about an issue or incident before all the facts surrounding the galvanizing issue or incident are completely known.

He was enraged at the apparent lack of concern for the feelings of those offended and immediately joined other reactivists on social media posting to get the offending party censured.

capacitive reactance

Capactive reactance is the analysis of an alternating-current electrical circuit (for example a RLC series circuit), reactance is the imaginary part of impedance, and is caused by the presence of inductors or capacitors in the circuit. Reactance produces a phase shift between the electric current and voltage in the circuit.

This is determined by the equation XC=1/2piFC XC is an impedance and is measured in ohms.
