The inductive reactance of a choke coil of in an circuit of will be

The inductive reactance of a choke coil of \( 1 / 4 \pi m H \) in an \( A C \) circuit of \( 50 H z \) will be

  • A. 25 ohm
  • B. 0.25 ohm
  • C. 0.025 ohm
  • D. 2.5 ohm

Step-by-step solution

Inductive reactance XL = 2πfL. Given L = 1/(4π) mH = 1/(4π) × 10⁻³ H and f = 50 Hz. Then XL = 2π × 50 × (1/(4π) × 10⁻³) = (100π)/(4π) × 10⁻³ = 25 × 10⁻³ = 0.025 ohm.
