PhysicsAlternating CurrentMHT CET 2026

A series combination of resistor 'R' and capacitor 'C' is connected to an a.c. source of angular frequency ''. Keeping the voltage same, if the frequency is changed to the current becomes half of the original current. Then the ratio of capacitive reactance and resistance is

Answer: (D)

Solution

Let the initial capacitive reactance be . The initial impedance is . At frequency the reactance becomes , so . With the same voltage, ; the current halves, so $ =
