Question

The inductive reactance X_L​ of a purely inductive circuit is given by ______.

Options

• X_L = \[\frac {L}{ω}\]

• X_L = ωL

• X_L = \[\frac {ω}{L}\]

• X_L = L²ω

Answer 1

The inductive reactance X_L​ of a purely inductive circuit is given by X_L = ωL.

Explanation:

Inductive reactance is defined as X_L = ωL, where ω is the angular frequency and L is the self-inductance. It is directly proportional to both frequency and inductance, limits current in a purely inductive circuit just as resistance does, and is measured in ohms (Ω).
