A capacitor in an ac circuit offers:
AInductive reactance
BResonant impedance
CWattless resistance
DCapacitive reactance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Capacitive reactance
1. The quantity one over omega C acts like a resistance.
2. It belongs to the capacitor, not the inductor.
3. It is called capacitive reactance.
4. So the answer is capacitive reactance.
