The correct Answer is:
To find the capacitive reactance (Xc) in an AC circuit where a capacitor is connected, we can use the formula: \[ X_c = \frac{1}{\omega C} \] where: - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency (in rad/sec), - \( C \) is the capacitance (in farads). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Capacitance \( C = 1 \mu F = 1 \times 10^{-6} F \) - Angular frequency \( \omega = 1000 \, rad/sec \) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ X_c = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{1000 \times (1 \times 10^{-6})} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator**: \[ 1000 \times (1 \times 10^{-6}) = 1000 \times 10^{-6} = 10^{-3} \] 4. **Now substitute back into the equation**: \[ X_c = \frac{1}{10^{-3}} = 10^{3} \] 5. **Convert to ohms**: \[ X_c = 1000 \, ohm \] ### Final Answer: The value of the capacitive reactance \( X_c \) is \( 1000 \, ohm \). ---
