Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 470µF capacitor is connected across a 120V AC supply operating at 60Hz. Calculate the capacitive reactance and the current flowing through it.

💡 Hint: Calculate XC first and then apply Ohm's Law for AC.

Question 2

An AC circuit consists of a 10µF capacitor connected to a 50Hz supply. Calculate the impedance and current if the source voltage is 230V.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert XC into a complex number before finding current.
