Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2011 2011Moderate

The inductor has an inductance of 0.5 is connected to 50 hertz ac source, what is the inductive reactance of the inductor?

Correct answer: C. 157

  • A. 94.2
  • B. 1.57
  • C. 157
  • D. 9,421

Explanation

Inductive reactance is the opposition offered by the inductor in the AC circuit to the flow of AC current. Inductive reactance= = wL = 2pifL = 2*3.14*50*0.5= = 157 ohm

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.
