Which of the best method of reducing current in an a.c. circuit and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

An ideal inductor is a coil having inductance (L) but no ohmic resistance.
Heating effect of current appears in the form of heat `(l^2Rt)` produced in the circuit. Since R = 0 in case of an ideal inductor, so there is no heating effect. On the other hand, opposition offered by inductor is `X_L= omegaL`, so current.is reduced.
