Pure R, L and C Circuits

The capacitive reactance of a capacitor 'CC' is X ΩX\ \Omega. Both, the frequency of a.c. supply and capacitance of the above capacitor are doubled. The new capacitive reactance will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. XC=12πfC∝1fCX_C = \frac{1}{2\pi f C} \propto \frac{1}{fC}
  2. Both ff and CC doubled: X′=X4X' = \frac{X}{4}
  3. So the answer is (a) X4 Ω\frac{X}{4}\ \Omega.
