The resistance offered by the inductor (X_L) in an ac circuit is

MHT CET 2022 Physics question

The resistance offered by the inductor () in an ac circuit is

(A)inversely proportional to inductance and directly proportional to the frequency of alternating current
(B)inversely proportional to inductance and frequency of the alternating current
(C)directly proportional to inductance and frequency of alternating currentCorrect
(D)inversely proportional to frequency of alternating current and directly proportional to inductance

Answer: (C)

Solution

The inductive reactance is , so it is directly proportional to both the inductance and the frequency of the ac. This makes (C) correct. An inductor therefore passes low frequencies
