Inductive reactance increases linearly with frequency. At f = 50 Hz, X_L = 100 Ω. At f = 200 Hz, X_L =
- 200 Ω
- 100 Ω
- 400 Ω (linear in f)
- 25 Ω
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 400 Ω (linear in f)
X_L = ωL = 2π f L proportional to f. Doubling f doubles X_L.
**So 50 Hz × 4 = 200 Hz means X_L = 100 × 4 = 400 Ω.**
