  1. Question 1

    Q1. An inductor is connected to an AC source. If the frequency of the source is doubled, the reactance of the inductor

    • A) Remains the same
    • B) Doubles
    • C) Halves
    • D) Becomes zero

    Answer: Doubles

    Explanation: Inductive reactance is directly proportional to frequency; when frequency doubles, reactance doubles. 'It halves' is the opposite behavior.
