Q

What effect will increasing the power source frequency have on the capacitive reactance of a capacitive circuit?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between capacitive reactance (Xc) and frequency (f) • The basic formula for capacitive reactance in AC circuits • How changing one variable in a formula affects the others

💭 Think About

• Write down the formula for capacitive reactance and identify where frequency appears in it • Ask yourself: if frequency gets larger, does the denominator of the fraction get larger or smaller, and what does that do to the overall value? • Compare how resistance in DC behaves versus reactance in AC when you change frequency

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the standard formula: Xc = 1 / (2π f C) • Check whether frequency is in the numerator or denominator of the expression for Xc • Verify whether an increase in the denominator of a fraction makes the overall value larger or smaller
