Capacitor capacitive reactance and reactive power
As frequency increases, capacitive reactance (capacitor impedance) decreases. In Figure 4, the frequency is held constant at 1000 Hz. The reactance is plotted for capacitors of 0.01 μF, 0.05 μF, 0.1 μF, and 0.5 μF. These are common capacitor sizes used in electronic work. They are used in filtering, coupling, and bypassing networks. Figure ...
