Practice mode Alternating Current

How does the reactance of an inductor depend on the frequency of the AC supply?

Correct answer A. It is directly proportional to frequency

Explanation

X_L = 2πfL. A higher frequency means the current changes faster, producing a larger back emf, so inductive reactance rises in direct proportion to frequency.
