A

inductor increases

B

resistor increases

C

capacitor increases

D

circuit increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The reactance of inductor, `X_(L) = omega L`
The reactance of capacitors, `X_(C) = (1)/(omega C)` where `omega = 2 pi n` & n is the frequency of A.C source.
