Which of the following represents pure capacitive reactance of 100 ohms in rectangular notation?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. 0 - j100
In rectangular notation, resistance is the real part and reactance is the j part. Capacitive reactance is negative, so pure 100 ohm capacitive reactance is 0 - j100.
Tip: Capacitive = minus j.
