  1. Question 1

    Q1. An AC source is connected to a capacitor. If the capacitance is doubled, capacitive reactance becomes

    • A) Halved
    • B) Doubled
    • C) Quadrupled
    • D) Unchanged

    Answer: Halved

    Explanation: Capacitive reactance Xc = 1 / (ωC), so if C is doubled, Xc becomes halved.
