Which of the given plots can represent the reactance of a series LC combination?
Options
- Aa
- Bb
- Cd
- Dc
Correct answer
C. d
Step-by-step solution
The inductive reactance is given by X_L = L = 2 f L . The plot of X_L versus frequency f is a straight line passing through the origin, which corresponds to curve a. The capacitive reactance is given by X_C = 1 C = 1 2 f C . The plot of X_C versus frequency f is a rectangular hyperbola, which corresponds to curves b and c. For a series LC combination, the net reactance is the difference between the capacitive and inductive reactances. If we consider the net reactance as X = X_C - X_L = 1 2 f C - 2 f L : - At low fr
