Question

Give units of 1/ωL and ωC.Answer the given question in brief.

Answer 1

inductive reactance: It is the effective resistance offered by any inductor connected across to AC source.

Inductive reactance is given by equations

$x_L = \omega L$

since it is effective resistance so its unit is same as resistance

so the unit of given

$\frac{1}{\omega L} = \frac{1}{ohm}$

so above quantity is related to conductance which is given by "mho"

so the unit must be "mho"

Capacitive Reactance: It is the effective resistance offered by any capacitor connected across to AC source.

Capacitive reactance is given by equations

$x_c = \frac{1}{\omega C}$

since it is effective resistance so its unit is same as resistance

so the unit of given

$\omega C = \frac{1}{ohm}$

so above quantity is related to conductance which is given by "mho"

so the unit must be "mho"
