Question:

An inductor of 200 \(\mu\)H is connected to an alternating source of frequency 50 Hz. Then the inductive reactance is:

Show Hint

Inductive reactance depends linearly on frequency: \(X_L = 2 \pi f L\). Convert microhenry to henry before calculation.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Formula for inductive reactance.
\[ X_L = 2 \pi f L \] where \(L = 200~\mu\text{H} = 200 \times 10^{-6}~\text{H}\), \(f = 50~\text{Hz}\).

Step 2: Substitute values.

\[ X_L = 2 \pi (50) (200 \times 10^{-6}) = 6.28 \times 10^{-2}~\Omega \]

Step 3: Conclusion.

The inductive reactance is \(6.28 \times 10^{-2}~\Omega\).
