The inductive reactance of a coil increases when
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 79 (Electronics Information): the frequency of the supply rises
Method
An inductor fights change in current, so the faster the current alternates the harder it pushes back, and reactance rises with frequency. At zero frequency, meaning DC, an ideal coil offers no reactance at all.
