Inductors acts as a short circuit for_______________?

Correct answer: B. DC

  • A. AC
  • B. DC
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. none of these

Explanation

After the transient has died out, an ideal inductor has zero voltage across it because v = L(di/dt) and steady DC current has constant value. It therefore behaves as a short circuit for steady DC, but it opposes AC according to its inductive reactance.
