Capacitive reactance (symbol XC) is a measure of a capacitor's opposition to. AC (alternating current). The capacitive reactance X C equals the reciprocal of the product of 2?, the frequency of the current, and the capacitance of that part of the circuit, simply X C = 1/(2?fC). Capacitive reactance...

Capacitive reactance (symbol XC) is a measure of a capacitor's opposition to. AC (alternating current). Like resistance it is measured in ohms, but. reactance is more complex than resistance because its value depends on the. frequency (f) of the electrical signal passing through the capacitor as well...

In an AC circuit in which the applied voltage signal is continually changing from a positive to a negative polarity at a rate determined by the frequency of the supply, as in the case of a sine wave voltage, for example, the capacitor is either being charged or discharged on a continuous basis at a rate determined by the supply frequency. As the capacitor charges or discharges, a current flows through it which is restricted by the internal resistance of the capacitor. This internal resistance is commonly known as Capacitive Reactance. it is inversely proportional to the angular frequency and the capacitance and is due to the presence of capacitance in an alternating-current circuit. its S.I. unit is in Ohms. read less

Sir, I just want you to suggest me a book that can help me in revising my 11th and 12th standard syllabus of PCM.
Use NCERT textbooks, for revision you can opt for ABC publication books or can use online references for the same.Make use of your notes that you might have collected so far. All the best.
