I. THE EFFECT OF FREQUENCY ON XC

Purpose:

To investigate the reactance of a capacitor, and to see how the capacitor reactance is chanced with series and parallel combinations of capacitors.

Theory:

The impedance is defined by Z = V / I, V and I are rms values. The impedance is purely resistive, if applied voltage (or current) is ac signal, and if the load is a resistor. In the case, the reactance is being zero. Impedance of a capacitor is purely reactive, having zero resistive components. The capacitive reactance is denoted by XC = -1 / WC and has a resistance dimension ohm.

To investigate relationship between current and voltage in series RC circuit.

Theory:

A series RC circuit consists of a resistor and a capacitor, which is connected in series to an ac source (figure 2.1.a).
