A 35 μ F capacitor is connected to a 60-Hz, 120 V supply. What is the X_C of the capacitor? A) 75.79 Ω B) 80.33 Ω C) 83.2 Ω D) 93.43 Ω

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capacitive reactance (Xc) of a capacitor can be calculated using the formula Xc = 1 / (2πfC), where f is the frequency in hertz and C is the capacitance in farads. Substituting the given values (f = 60 Hz, C = 35 μF = 35 × 10^-6 F) into the formula gives Xc = 1 / (2π × 60 × 35 × 10^-6) ≈ 75.79 Ω.
