Reactance of a capacitor is
- ADirectly proportional to frequency
- BInversely proportional to sq. root of frequency
- CInversely proportional to frequency
- DNone of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Inversely proportional to frequency
Explanation
Capacitive reactance is given by X_C = 1/(2πfC), where f is frequency and C is capacitance.
Since f sits in the denominator, X_C falls as frequency rises – an inverse relationship, not direct or square-root.
