What is the reactance of a capacitor connected to a constant DC source?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The reactance of a capacitor is given by,
`X_c = 1/{wc}`
For a DC source, ω = 0
⇒ `X_c = 1/(0xxc) = ∞ `
So, for a constant DC source, reactance of a capacitor is infinite.

You are given three circuit elements X, Y and Z. When the element X is connected across an a.c. source of a given voltage, the current and the voltage are in the same phase. When the element Y is connected in series with X across the source, voltage is ahead of the current in phase by π/4 . But the current is ahead of the voltage in phase by π/4when Z is connected in series with X across the source. Identify the circuit elements X, Y and Z. When all the three elements are connected in series across the same source, determine the impedance of the circuit.Draw a plot of the current versus the frequency of applied source and mention the significance of this plot.
