The capacitive reactance of a capacitor decreases as the
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 160 (Electronics Information): frequency of the applied AC signal increases
Method
Capacitive reactance falls as frequency rises, the opposite of inductive reactance, because a capacitor charges and discharges more readily as the signal alternates faster, offering less opposition to it.
