What is inductive reactance?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Inductive reactance is given,
`X_(C)=omegaL=2pi vL`, where v is the frequency of the AC supply.
For `DC v=0, therefore X_(L)=0`
Thus a pure inudctor offers zero resistance to DC. But in an AC circuit the reactance of the coil increases with increase in frequency.
