How will the capacitive reactance be affected if the frequency is doubled?(a) Doubled(b) Insignificant(c) Remains the same(d) HalvedI have been asked this question in a national level competition.This intriguing question comes from AC Voltage Applied to a Capacitor in chapter Alternating Current of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (d) Halved

The BEST I can explain: If the frequency is DOUBLED, the capacitive reactance is halved and CONSEQUENTLY, the CURRENT is doubled. This is because, when capacitive reactance, being a resistance, is lowered, the current can flow more EASILY through the circuit.
