Correct Answer: decreases
Correct Answer: cannot be determined without values
Correct Answer: 2121 Ω and ? = ?19.5°
Explanation:
Xc = 1/2?fC = 707 ?
Z = R - jXc = 2000 - j(707)
|z| = sqrt(R*R + Xc*Xc) = 2121 ?
Phase angle = arctangent(Xc/R) = 19.5°
Correct Answer: Z = 150 ∠?90°Ω
Correct Answer: 21.63
Correct Answer: must be decreased
Correct Answer: decrease
Correct Answer: is 200 Ω
Correct Answer: 4,992 Ω
Correct Answer: 6 kHz
