Question

Of the following about capacitive reactance which is correct

• A. the reactance of the capacitor is directly proportional to its ability to store charge
• B. capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the frequency of the current
• C. capacitive reactance is mesured in farad
• D. the reactance of a capacitor in an A.C. circuit is similar to the resistance of a capacitor in a D.C. circuit

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the frequency of the current

Answer 2

$X_{C} = \frac{1}{\omega C} \Rightarrow X_{C} \infty \frac{1}{\omega}$ for given C.
