Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the frequency on the inductive reactance in an AC circuit? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what inductive reactance (Xl) is. It is the opposition that an inductor offers to the flow of alternating current (AC).
  • Step 2: Know the formula for inductive reactance: Xl = 2πfL, where 'f' is the frequency and 'L' is the inductance.
  • Step 3: Identify the components of the formula. '2π' is a constant, 'f' is the frequency, and 'L' is the inductance of the inductor.
  • Step 4: Observe that in the formula, Xl depends on 'f'. This means that if you increase 'f', Xl will also increase.
  • Step 5: Conclude that increasing the frequency in an AC circuit leads to an increase in inductive reactance.
