With sine-wave alternating current, the voltage division between series capacitors can be calculated on the basis of
A) resistance
B) conductance
C) reactance
D) impedance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series circuit with sine-wave alternating current, the voltage division between capacitors is based on their reactance, not resistance, conductance, or impedance. Reactance specifically refers to the opposition a capacitor presents to the change in current in an AC circuit.
