A 6.0-μF capacitor is connected to an ac signal with a frequency of 60 Hz. If the maximum voltage applied to the capacitor is 8.0 V, what is the capacitive reactance? A) 6.0 Ω B) 440 Ω C) 7.5 × 10^-6 Ω D) 740 Ω E) 160 Ω

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capacitive reactance can be found using the formula Xc = 1/(2πfC), where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance. Plugging in the given values, we get:

Xc = 1/(2π*60*6.0*10^-6)
Xc = 440 Ω

Therefore, the answer is (B) 440 Ω.
