The resistance offered by the inductor \(\left(X_L\right)\) in an ac circuit is

  1. A inversely proportional to inductance and directly proportional to the frequency of alternating current
  2. B inversely proportional to inductance and frequency of the alternating current
  3. C directly proportional to inductance and frequency of alternating current
  4. D inversely proportional to frequency of alternating current and directly proportional to inductance.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) directly proportional to inductance and frequency of alternating current

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The expression for inductive reactance is:
\(
X_{\mathrm{L}}=2 \pi f L
\)
Therefore, \(X_{\mathrm{L}} \propto L\) and \(X_{\mathrm{L}} \propto f\).
