Asked in UHS MDCAT 2008 2008Moderate

If inductance is denoted by L and resistance by R, which of the following is true for a choke?

Correct answer: B. R is very small, L is large

  • A. R is large, L is very small
  • B. R is very small, L is large
  • C. Both R and L are large
  • D. Both R and L are very small

Explanation

In an ideal choke, a coil should have almost zero internal resistance, R≈0, if a coil has resistance it will consume power.Since R needs to be zero, L will be greater than R. L>R.

About AC Through Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor

Alternating current through a resistor, capacitor and inductor involves phase relationships between voltage and current, reactance, impedance and energy transfer. A resistor keeps voltage and current in phase, while a capacitor and inductor produce opposite phase shifts, a distinction used in circuit diagrams and numerical calculations.
