Question 90Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhat is the opposition to alternating current flow through a coil due to inductance called?
Areactive inductance
Bimpedance factor
Cinductive reactance
Dcapacitive reactance
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is the opposition to alternating current (AC) flow through a coil due to inductance. Inductance is the property of a coil that opposes changes in the electric current, creating a voltage that opposes the change. This opposition to AC flow is called inductive reactance, and it is measured in ohms. The other options are incorrect because: A) Reactive inductance is not a term used to describe the opposition to AC flow. B) Impedance factor is a broader term that encompasses both resistive and reactive components, including inductive reactance. D) Capacitive reactance is the opposition to AC flow due to capacitance, not inductance.
