At the break frequency, what is the ratio of reactance to resistance?

  • A.The reactance is twice the resistance
  • B.The reactance is half the resistance
  • C.The reactance is the square of the resistance
  • D.They are equal

Answer: D

The break is defined where the reactance equals the resistance, which makes the total impedance root two times the resistance and the gain 3 dB down. That equality is what gives the familiar expression with two pi, the frequency, the resistance and the capacitance all in one product. Doubling or halving would put the break at a different frequency, and a squared relation is dimensionally impossible. Every break frequency in this topic comes from setting one impedance equal to another.
