Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

What happens to the inductive reactance and the current in a purely inductive circuit if the frequency is halved?

  1. A Both, inducting reactance and current will be doubled.
  2. B Inductive reactance will be doubled and current will be halved.
  3. C Both, inductive reactance and current will be halved.
  4. D Inductive reactance will be halved and current will be doubled. Correct answer

Solution

${X_L} = \omega L$<br><br>$X{'_L} = \left( {{{{X_L}} \over 2}} \right)$<br><br>$\because$ $I = {V \over {{X_L}}}$<br><br>&amp; $I' = {{2V} \over {{X_L}}} = 2I$
