In a pure capacitive circuit if the frequency of ac source is doubled, then its capacitive reactance will be

A

remains same

B

doubled

C

halved

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Capacitive reactance, `X_(C )=(1)/(2pi upsilon C)`
`rArr X_(C ) prop (1)/(upsilon) therefore (X_(C_(1)))/(X_(C_(2)))=(upsilon_(2))/(upsilon_(1))=(2upsilon)/(upsilon)=2`
`rArr X_(C_(2)) = (X_(C_(1)))/(2)`
