Why does capacitor impedance magnitude increase in the Bode plot as frequency rises?

Handwritten-style typeset derivation of the RC series circuit voltage across the resistor V_s and across the capacitor V_c, with magnitude results boxed: |V_s| = |V_m| times omega RC over the square root of 1 plus (omega RC) squared, and |V_c| = |V_m| times 1 over the square root of 1 plus (omega RC) squared.

Plot titled Frequency response of the Resistor & Capacitor: amplitude in volts against w in rad per sec from 0 to 10000. Dashed curve Vc rises from 0 to near 10 volts; solid curve Vr falls from 10 volts toward about 1 volt.


i can't understand how they got the praph of the capacitator

i clearly see that as the frequency goes up so does omega so the denominator goes up
and the whole expression decrisses

why does the gpath goes up as the frquency goes up

It looks like they have got the VR and VC labels wrong.

The reactance of a capacitor drops with rising frequency, so the voltage across the capacitor would drop too, in a series RC circuit.

Was this in a book?
