Q1 of 31 Page 1

Define capacitor reactance. Write its S.I. units.

The resistance offered by the capacitor when connected to an electrical circuit is known as capacitor reactance.


It is expressed as;



Where,


w=angular frequency of the source


C= capacitance of the capacitor


The S.I unit of capacitor reactance is ohm (Ω).
