Simple alternating current circuits

Explanation of question 10

A 40F capacitor is connected across a 12V DC supply. Its reactance will be

  1. infinitely low
  2. 3.33
  3. 3.33M
  4. infinitely high

The answer is :- 4  A d.c. supply has zero frequency. Xc = 1 / (2 x PI x F x C) = 1 / 0  i.e. Infinitely high
