Is AC increased as frequency is increased?

Best Answer

It depends on the nature of the load.

For inductive loads, the current will fall, because inductive reactance is directly-proportional to frequency.

For capacitive loads, the current will increase, because capacitive reactance is inversely-proportional to current.

For resistive loads, there will be very little change in current unless the frequency is changed substantially. This is because, at higher frequencies, the 'a.c. resistance', due to the 'skin effect', will increase.

What is the Difference between frequency converter and frequency inverter?

frequency is genrally cycle per second, and frequencies may be of a dc nature or ac , devices which convert dc frequency in to an ac frequency are frequency converters and devieces which convert ac frequency in to dc frequency are frequency inverters. because in terms of power electronics, devices which convert ac to dc are called converters, and devices which convert dc in to ac are called "inverters" 'mehboob hunzai" I'm a engineers in this devices, the frequency inverter is convert AC to AC but with variable frequency output, means the frequency & voltage are adjustable; The frequency converter can convert DC to AC, like 24VDC to 220VAC and also the frequency is adjustable. One most important thing is the out power of frequency inverter just can be used for controlling AC motor, while frequency converter can be treated as normal power supply as our daily using power grid.

If frequency increased is that more hazardous or less hazardous?

The answer depends on frequency of what! It the frequency of safety checks is increased then it makes a system less hazardous. If the frequency of changes to he system is increased, the system becomes more hazardous.

When the frequency of an applied voltage is increased the capacitive reactance of a circuit will?

Since capacitive reactance is inversely-proportional to the supply frequency, as the frequency is increased, the reactance will decrease.


How does a frequency inverter work?

A frequency converter converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Generally it's used for controlling the ac motor speed by changing the supply frequency.


What happened to the wavelength and frequency when you increased the rate at which the spring toy moved left and right?

The wavelength decreased and the frequency increased.


Does the resistance depend on the frequency?

Yes. The resistance does depend on frequency. The reason is 'skin effect'. When an alternating current is passed through a conductor only a small portion of the conductor, usually called the skin depth carries the current. The value of skin depth is inversely proportional to frequency. As the frequency is increased, the skin depth decreases. But the value of ac resistance is directly proportional to frequency, or in other words, inversely proportional to skin depth. Thus, at higher frequencies, ac resistance is higher. This is the reason why we multiply the dc resistance by an empirical value 1.2 or 1.3 to calculate its ac equivalent.

IT IS RELATED TO AC ONLY BKZ SKIN EFFECT DEPENDS FREQUENCY ONLY WHERE IS IN DC NO FREQUENCY
