  1. Question 1

    Q1. A capacitor of capacitance 0.02 F is connected to an AC source of frequency 50 Hz. What is the capacitive reactance?

    • A) 0.16 Ω
    • B) 0.32 Ω
    • C) 0.08 Ω
    • D) 0.64 Ω

    Answer: 0.16 Ω

    Explanation: Xc = 1/(2πfC) = 1/(2π x 50 x 0.02) = 0.16 Ω. Option B is wrong due to incorrect frequency.
