Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of capacitive reactance?

Capacitive reactance is a property of capacitors in an alternating current (AC) circuit, which determines how much the capacitor impedes or resists the flow of AC current. One crucial aspect of capacitive reactance is that it is inversely related to both the frequency of the current and the capacitance value.

The correct identification of the characteristic that does not apply to capacitive reactance is that it does not increase with increased voltage. Instead, capacitive reactance remains constant regardless of the voltage applied to the capacitor because it is determined by frequency and capacitance. This means that changes in voltage do not affect the capacitive reactance directly; rather, it changes in response to adjustments in frequency or the value of the capacitor itself.

The other characteristics are true; capacitive reactance does depend on frequency, opposing the flow of AC current, and is indeed measured in ohms. Understanding these properties helps in analyzing AC circuits and the behavior of capacitors within them.
