A resistor, a capacitor and an inductor are joined in series with an alternating current source. If the frequency of the source is slightly increased from a very low value, then :

  1. A resistance of resistor decreases
  2. B capacitive reactance increases
  3. C inductive reactance increases
  4. D impedance increases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) inductive reactance increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Inductive reactance ( \(X_L=2 \pi f L\) ) is directly proportional to frequency, so it increases as the frequency of the source rises. Conversely, capacitive reactance decreases with higher frequency, and the resistance remains constant. C) inductive reactance increases
