Question

An ideal inductor when connected in a.c. circuit does not produce heating effect though it reduces the current in the circuit .Explain.why?

Answer 1

Hi friend,
An ideal inductor is a coil having some  inductance(L) but no ohmic resistance R.Amount of heat produced in time t= I²Rt.As R=0,Therefore,heat produced =0.However,The inductor offers inductive reactance X_L=ωL=2πvL to the a.c. Therefore ,the current is reduced.

Answer 2

An ideal inductor is a coil which dont have ohmic resistance . in which amount of heat produced becomes zero. so current will reduce in circuit.
