Which of the following represents a pure inductive reactance in polar coordinates?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. A positive 90 degree phase angle
Pure inductive reactance has voltage leading current by 90 degrees, which is a positive 90 degree phase angle. Pure capacitive reactance is negative 90 degrees.
Tip: Inductive = +90 degrees.
