Describe the relationship between the frequency and the capacitive reactance.

Discuss the following:

  1. Describe the relationship between the frequency and the capacitive reactance.
  2. What effect does frequency have on Ic and Vc for a fixed value of capacitance in this circuit?
  3. For a frequency of 1000Hz, what would be the effect of increasing the value of the capacitor on the current Ic and the voltage Vc?
  4. Why is it necessary to measure current in series with a device and voltage across it?
  5. Why is it necessary to determine Xc from measured values of current and voltage as opposed to measuring it directly with a digital multi-meter? (It may be helpful to perform research on the internet to gain more insight into the topic of this question.)
