Question:

Of the following about capacitive reactance which is correct?

Options:

The reactance of the capacitor is directly proportional to its ability to store charge

Capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the frequency of the current

Capacitive reactance is measured in henry

The reactance of a capacitor in an A.C. circuit is similar to the battery in a D.C. circuit

Correct Answer:

Capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the frequency of the current

Explanation:
  1. The capacitance of the capacitor is directly proportional to its ability to store charge.
  2. Capacitive reactance is measured in farad.
  3. The reactance of a capacitor in an A.C. circuit is hindrance to the current.
