A capacitor that has an X_C of 40 Ω is connected to a 60 Hz voltage. What is the capacitance? A) 66.31 μ F B) 75.80 μ F C) 99.48 μ F D) 100.52 μ F

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capacitive reactance (X_C) is given by the formula X_C = 1 / (2πfC), where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance. Rearranging for C gives C = 1 / (2πfX_C). Substituting f = 60 Hz and X_C = 40 Ω, we get C ≈ 66.31 μF.
