Figure 9-21. Capacitor in an AC circuit. Capacitive reactance is a measure of how much the capacitive circuit opposes the applied current flow. Capacitive reactance is measured in ohms. The capacitive reactance of a circuit is indirectly proportional ... capacitance of the circuit and the applied frequency to the circuit. By increasing either the capacitance or applied frequency, the capacitive reactance decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is given as: 1 XC = 2πfC Where: XC = capacitive reactance in ohms…

parallel circuit: (Xc)t = Phase of Current and Voltage in Reactive Circuits Unlike a purely resistive circuit, the capacitive and inductive reactance has a significant effect on the phase relationship between the applied AC voltage and the corresponding current ... than the voltage, lagging the voltage by 90°, or one-fourth cycle. [Figure 12-124B] In a circuit containing only capacitance, the current reaches its maximum value ahead of the voltage and the current leads the voltage…

combination of applied frequency and the selected capacitance. Current in an AC circuit can be controlled by changing the circuit capacitance in a similar manner that resistance can control the current. The actual AC reactance Xc, which just like resistance ... following: Figure 12-120. Oil capacitor. Xc = 2πfC Where Xc = capacitive reactance f = frequency in cps C = capacity in farads 2π = 6.28 Sample Problem: A series circuit is assumed in which the impressed voltage is 110 volts…
