Frequency applied to Cap & Inductor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the reactance of a capacitor and an inductor when a frequency of 1kHz is applied. For a 1000 μF capacitor, the capacitance is confirmed to be 1000 μF, while the reactance is calculated using the formula x = -1/(ωC), resulting in 159 fF. For the 10 H inductor, the reactance is calculated using Xl = 2πFL, yielding a value of 62.8KΩ. The original poster expresses confusion from external sources and seeks clarification on their calculations. The thread emphasizes the importance of accurately understanding capacitance and reactance in AC circuits.

1. The problem statement

1kHz is applied to 1000 μF Capacitor, What is its Capacitance?
&
1kHz is applied to 10 H inductor, What is its reactance?

The Attempt at a Solution


using
x= -1/ωC = -1/2∏∫C
I came up with 159 fF

then for question 2 I got
using
Xl=2∏FL (better seen here http://www.raftabtronics.com/portals/0/EquationImages/XsubL.png )

and I got 62.8KΩ

my problem is this.
i tried learning it myself but this forum https://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-35071.html confused me a little bit. So to make sure I am on the right path, I am posting on here yet again...and I am sure there will be more to come after this.
