How does an inductor react to AC?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases
Inductive reactance rises with frequency: XL = 2 x pi x f x L. Higher frequency means more opposition. The signal's amplitude does not change reactance.
Tip: Inductor: higher frequency, higher reactance.
