The reactance of a capacitor is \(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}\). If the frequency and the capacitance are doubled, then the new reactance will be

  1. A \(\frac{X_C}{2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{X_C}{4}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{X_C}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(X_c = \frac{1}{2\pi f C}\) \(X_c' = \frac{1}{2\pi (2f) (2C)}\)
