An inductor acts as a conductor for d.c....

An inductor acts as a conductor for d.c. why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The inductive reactance is given by `X_(L) = omega L = 2 pi v L`
For d.c., `v = 0, :. X_(L) = 0`
i.e.., inductor offers no resistance to d.c. Hence for d.c. an inductor acts as a conductor.
