At what frequency f do a 1.0μFcapacitor and a 1.0μHinductor have the same reactance? What is the value of the reactance at this frequency?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Frequency ; f =159kHz

Reactance ; X=9.98×10-4Ω

Step by step solution

01

:Given Information

We have been given that

Capacitance of capacitor,C=1.0μF=10-6F

Inductance of inductor,L=1.0μH=10-6H

We need to find out the frequency at which the reactance of inductor and capacitor is same and the reactance at that frequency.

02

Explanation 

Given , C=1μFand L=1μH

As we know Capacitive Reactance ;

XC=12πfC.....(1)

where f is frequency ;

C is capacitance;

XCis capacitive reactance

Also,

Inductive Reactance ; XL=2πfL .......(2)

where f is frequency ;

L is inductance

Since, both Reactance are same i.eXL=XC

2πfL=12πfCf=12πCL=12(3.14)(1×10-6F)(1×10-6H)f=159kHz

Now reactance at frequency ,f

XL=XC=2πfL=2(3.14)(159×103Hz)(1×10-6H)=9.98×10-4Ω
