alleryThe quantity analogous to resistance for an inductor is called:
AInductive resonance
BInductive reactance
CInductive resistance
DInductive reluctance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Inductive reactance
1. An inductor opposes alternating current without dissipating energy.
2. That opposition is given its own name and symbol.
3. The quantity omega L is analogous to resistance and is called inductive reactance.
4. So the answer is inductive reactance.
