AI Generated Solution

To explain why the reactance offered by an inductor increases with increasing frequency of an alternating voltage, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Inductive Reactance Inductive reactance (\(X_L\)) is a measure of the opposition that an inductor offers to the flow of alternating current (AC). It is given by the formula: \[ X_L = \omega L \] where: ...
