Q
Q: If the capacitance in an AC circuit is increased, what happens to the capacitive reactance? (2023)
Solution:
Capacitive reactance XC = 1/(ωC). If capacitance C increases, XC decreases.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what capacitive reactance (XC) is. It is a measure of how much a capacitor resists the flow of alternating current (AC).
Step 2: Know the formula for capacitive reactance: XC = 1/(ωC), where ω (omega) is the angular frequency of the AC signal and C is the capacitance.
Step 3: Identify what happens when capacitance (C) increases. According to the formula, if C increases, the denominator (ωC) becomes larger.
Step 4: Realize that if the denominator in the formula increases, the overall value of XC (capacitive reactance) must decrease.
Step 5: Conclude that increasing capacitance in an AC circuit results in a decrease in capacitive reactance.
