C)varies up and down
D)increases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Capacitive reactance (Xc) is inversely proportional to frequency (f) and is given by the formula Xc = 1/2πfC. This means that as the frequency applied to a capacitor increases, the capacitive reactance decreases. Therefore, the best choice is A, which states that the capacitive reactance decreases.

If the Frequency Applied to a Capacitor Increases, the Capacitive
