frequency of 1 KHZ

Frequency 20 KHZ

2x3.142x20000x220x10-9 = 36.2ohms

Can anyone describe how to do the last number? Because on a calculater I don't the same number in ohms ?
it is

Capacitive Resistance is:

XC =

1
-------------
2*pi*f*C

Where f is Frequency and C is capacitance (farads)

And your answer to question 1 is incorrect decimal in wrong place, Answer = 0.7234 (I bet if you look at calculator 723.4 has a 10-4 to top right of answer.

Question 2. answer correct this is how I got it 100,000,000 / (2 x 3.142 x 20000 x 220) = 36.1715 ohms

The 100,000,000 represent convertion of 1/10-9
