Capacitive reactance Xc is equal to 1/2pi*f*C, wher f is input frequency and C is capacitance. Since for DC frequency is zero(no variation with time) Xc is infinite ideally and very very high practically.

The capacitive reactance of a capacitor increase as?

The capacitive reactance of a capacitor increases as the frequency decreases.


What does capacitive reactance oppose?

Inductive reactance.


What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?

The two factors that determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor are the frequency of the AC voltage applied to the capacitor and the capacitance value of the capacitor. At higher frequencies and with larger capacitance values, the capacitive reactance decreases.


Why inductor and capacitor works only for alternating currents?

Actually they work fine for both AC and DC, its just that DC is the limiting case where the inductive reactance falls to zero and the capacitive reactance rises to infinity.The other limiting case is infinite frequency (but of course this is not reached in practice, but if it could they work fine too) where the inductive reactance rises to infinity and the capacitive reactance falls to zero.


What is the reason that capacitive reactance measured in ohms?

Because it is. Capacitive reactance is a form of resistance, along with inductive reactance. All are measured in ohms.


What two factors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?

The two factors that determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor are the frequency of the alternating current passing through the capacitor and the capacitance value of the capacitor. Capacitive reactance (Xc) is inversely proportional to the frequency (f) and directly proportional to the capacitance (C), as calculated using the formula Xc = 1 / (2πfC).


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.


What is the unit of inductive reactance?

Inductive reactance, as well as capacitive reactance, is measured in ohms.


Why is capacitive voltage higher than inductive voltage in an R-L-C circuit?

It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!

What is meant by susceptance in electrical engineering?

Susceptance is the reciprocal of reactance, and is expressed in siemens (symbol: S). So, inductive susceptanceis the reciprocal of inductive reactance, and capacitive susceptance is the reciprocal of capacitive reactance.
