Understanding the concept of capacitive reactance and Ohm’s law

As it passes through a capacitor, the obstruction offered in the path of alternating current is known as capacitive reactance. By determining the reactance due to the oscillation frequency within a capacitor, we can get the current value by substituting this value in equation of Ohm's law.

The capacitive reactance of a capacitor,

Xc=12Ï€´Ú°ä…..(¾±)

The current equation from Ohm’s law,

ic=∈mXc…..(¾±¾±)

Here, fis the frequency of oscillations, Cis the capacitance of the capacitor, and∈m is the emf applied across the circuit.

03

a) Calculation of the resulting current for frequency 1.00 kHz

For frequency f=1kHz, The capacitive reactance is given using equation (i) as follows:

Xc=12π×1×103Hz×1.5×10-6FXc=106.1Ω

Thus, using this above value in equation (ii), the value of the amplitude of the resulting alternating current is given as:

ic=30.0V0.283Ωic=0.283A

Hence, the value of the current is0.283A.

04

b) Calculation of the resulting current for frequency 8.00 kHz

For frequency f=8kHz, the capacitive reactance is given using equation (i) as follows:

Xc=12π×8×103Hz×1.5×10-6FXc=13.26Ω

Thus, using this above value in equation (ii), the value of the amplitude of the resulting alternating current is given as:

ic=30.0V13.26Ωic=2.26A

Hence, the value of the current is2.26A.

An inductor is connected across a capacitor whose capacitance can be varied by turning a knob. We wish to make the frequency of oscillation of this LC circuit vary linearly with the angle of rotation of the knob, going from2×105Hzto4×105Hzas the knob turns through 180°. If L=1.0mH, plot the required capacitance C as a function of the angle of rotation of the knob.
