Answer

  1. (c) Ohm
Solution:
Ohm is the unit of capacitive reactance.
  1. (a) $0.032\Omega$
Solution:
Capacitive reactance, $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}=\frac{1}{2\pi\mu\text{C}}$
$=\frac{1}{2\pi\times10^6\times5\times10^{-6}}$
$=0.032\Omega$
  1. (b) Capacitor
Solution:
In capacitive circuit, resistance to the flow of current is offered by the capacitor.
  1. (b) $90^\circ$
  2. (a) $6.28 \times 10^{-2}A$
Solution:
Current, $\text{l}_\text{v}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{V}}{\text{X}_\text{C}}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2\pi\mu\text{C}}}=(2\pi\mu\text{C})\text{E}_\text{V}$
$\text{I}_\text{v}=2\times3.14\times50\times10^{-6}\times200$
$=6.28 × 10^{-2}\text{A}$
