Question

In inductive circuit, when Inductance (L) or inductive reactance (XL) increases, the circuit

current ________?

A) Also Increases B) Decreases C) Remain Same D) None of the above
​

Answer 1

your answer is

A.also increases

Answer 2

Answer:

The circuit current decreases. Option B) is correct.

Explanation:

• In an inductor due to the flowing of the current, energy is stored in the form of the magnetic field.
• The inductive reactance depends on both the value of the inductance of the coil and the frequency of the AC electric current.

The formula of the current in a circuit having an inductor:

$I=\frac{E}{X_{L} }$

where, $X_{L}$ is the inductive reactance.

            $E$ is the voltage.

We see that $X_{L}$ is in the denominator of the fraction. So, when we increase the value of inductance $(L)$ or the inductive reactance $(X_{L})$, the value of the current $(I)$ decreases.

Hence, the circuit current decreases. Option B) is correct.
