it depends on capacitance and frequency, both inversely. Check your AC circuits textbook for the exact equation.

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 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).


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.


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 the units of inductance?

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


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.


Why capacitor will not block ac source?

A capacitor will oppose the flow of a.c. due to its capacitive reactance (Xc), expressed in ohms.The capacitive reactance for a given capacitor is inversely-proportional to the frequency of the supply; in other words, the higher the frequency, to lower the capacitive reactance.


What is the relationship of capacitive and inductive reactance?

Inductive reactance is traditionally positive while capacitive reactance is traditionally negative. Those are the conventions used by electrical engineers and they are consistent with a time-dependency of exp(+jwt).
