Answer:
Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance
Solution:
As per the question:
R =
where
R = resistance
f = fixed frequency
Now,
For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:
where
x = separation between the parallel plates
Thus
C ∝
Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:
Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.
Also,
Also,
Z ∝ I
Therefore,
Solving the above eqn:
