AI Customer ServiceCapacitive reactance opposes the flow of current in a circuit and its value depends on the frequency of the applied voltage and the capacitance rating of the capacitor. The reactance is calculated to determine the impedance of a circuit, which is a measure of the total opposition to the flow of current in the circuit.
For capacitors in AC circuits opposition is known as Reactance, and as we are dealing with capacitor circuits, it is therefore known as Capacitive Reactance. Thus capacitance in AC circuits suffer from Capacitive Reactance. Capacitive Reactance in a purely capacitive circuit is the opposition to current flow in AC circuits only.
With series connected resistors, the sum of all the voltage drops across the series circuit will be equal to the applied voltage VS ( Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law ) and this is also true about capacitors in series. With series connected capacitors, the capacitive reactance of the capacitor acts as an impedance due to the frequency of the supply.
Since capacitors charge and discharge in proportion to the rate of voltage change across them, the faster the voltage changes the more current will flow. Likewise, the slower the voltage changes the less current will flow. This means then that the reactance of an AC capacitor is “inversely proportional” to the frequency of the supply.
Capacitance in AC Circuits results in a time-dependent current which is shifted in phase by 90 o with respect to the supply voltage producing an effect known as capacitive reactance.
Now we will combine the two components together in series form and investigate the effects. Series capacitor circuit: voltage lags current by 0° to 90°. The resistor will offer 5 Ω of resistance to AC current regardless of frequency, while the capacitor will offer 26.5258 Ω of reactance to AC current at 60 Hz.
