The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reactance offered by inductance \( L \) and capacitance \( C \) in an alternating current (AC) circuit, we need to derive the expressions for the inductive reactance \( X_L \) and capacitive reactance \( X_C \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Angular Frequency**: - The angular frequency \( \omega \) is related to the frequency \( f \) of the AC circuit by the formula: \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] 2. **Inductive Reactance**: - The inductive reactance \( X_L \) is given by the formula: \[ X_L = \omega L \] - Here, \( L \) is the inductance. This formula indicates that the reactance increases with both the frequency of the AC and the inductance. 3. **Capacitive Reactance**: - The capacitive reactance \( X_C \) is given by the formula: \[ X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \] - In this case, \( C \) is the capacitance. This formula shows that the reactance decreases with increasing frequency and increases with larger capacitance. 4. **Final Expressions**: - Therefore, the reactance offered by inductance \( L \) is: \[ X_L = \omega L \] - And the reactance offered by capacitance \( C \) is: \[ X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \] ### Summary: - The reactance offered by inductance \( L \) is \( X_L = \omega L \). - The reactance offered by capacitance \( C \) is \( X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} \).
