A 50 Hz AC source is connected to a capacitor. If the capacitive reactance is 100 ohm, what is the capacitance?
Q1. A 50 Hz AC source is connected to a capacitor. If the capacitive reactance is 100 ohm, what is the capacitance?
Answer: 31.8 μF
Explanation: Xc = 1 / (2πfC). So, C = 1 / (2πfXc) = 1 / (2 * 3.14 * 50 * 100) = 31.8 * 10^(-6) F = 31.8 μF.
