With increase in frequency of an A.C. supply, the inductive reactance

With increase in frequency of an A.C. supply, the inductive reactance

  • A. decreases
  • B. increases directly with frequency
  • C. increases as square of frequency
  • D. decreases inversely with frequency

Step-by-step solution

Inductive reactance is given by XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance. Since XL is directly proportional to f, it increases linearly with frequency.
