Question

Inductive reactance X_L for inductor L at frequency f is:
  1. A
    2πfL
    Correct
  2. B
    1/(2πfL)
  3. C
    L/(2πf)
  4. D
    f/(2πL)

Correct answer

2πfL

Explanation

X_L = ωL = 2πfL. X_L increases with frequency — an inductor opposes changing current more strongly at higher frequencies.
