What else can I help you with?
Is it really possible to avoid reactive power in electrical circuit?
yesAnswerNo, but you can counter its effects. For example, if your load is inductive, then you can counter the effects of its inductive reactance by introducing capacitors with equal capacitive reactance.
Why is circuit current reduced when a capacitors added to the circuit?
In the case of an a.c. circuit, capacitors oppose current because of their capactive reactance, expressed in ohms. Capacitive reactance is inversely-proportional to the capacitance of the capactor and to the frequency of the supply. So, adding a capacitor is series with an existing load will reduce the load current. On the other hand, adding a capacitor in parallel with an existing load will decrease the load current.
What is difference between impedance and reactance?
Impedance is the net reactance(for Capacitors and inductors in the circuit) / Resistance of the circcuit whereas reactance is the prperty of the individual passive components ( only capacitors n inductors) to resist the flow of charge.
Does the power factor in three phase system depend on the phase sequence?
No. It depends on the inductive and capacitive reactance of the load.
What is capacitor reactant?
Capacitive reactance is an opposition to changes in voltage across an element. This resistance is usually caused by a magnetic field.
The capacitive reactance of a capacitor increase as?
The capacitive reactance of a capacitor increases as the frequency decreases.
Is it really possible to avoid reactive power in electrical circuit?

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 are capacitive and inductive reactance?
yyiiiiii
How can capacitive reactance be calculated?
it depends on capacitance and frequency, both inversely. Check your AC circuits textbook for the exact equation.
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.
