Question

A series RC circuit contains two resistors and two capacitors. The resistors are 120 Ω and 470 Ω. The capacitors have capacitive reactances of 600 Ω and 300 Ω. When calculating the circuit values, what is the total capacitive reactance?

Answer 1

Total capacitive reactance=900Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The Capacitors Capacitive reactances

R₁=600Ω

R₂=300Ω

To find

Total capacitive reactance

Solution

In series circuit total capacitive reactance is sum of individual capacitors capacitive reactances

So

Total capacitive reactance=R₁+R₂

Total capacitive reactance=(600Ω )+(300Ω )

Total capacitive reactance=900Ω
