Capacitive reactance of a capacitor in an \(\mathrm{AC}\) circuit is 6 \(\mathrm{k} \Omega\). If the same capacitor is connected to an \(\mathrm{AC}\) source of double the frequency, the capacitive reactance will become

  1. A \(6 \mathrm{k} \Omega\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{k} \Omega\)
  3. C \(1.5 \mathrm{k} \Omega\)
  4. D \(8.5 \mathrm{k} \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 \mathrm{k} \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know \(\chi_{\mathrm{C}} \propto \frac{1}{\omega} \Rightarrow \frac{\chi_{\mathrm{C}_2}}{\chi_{\mathrm{C}_1}}=\frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} \Rightarrow \chi_{\mathrm{C}_2}=6 \mathrm{k} \Omega \times \frac{\omega}{2 \omega}=3 \mathrm{k} \Omega\)
