What is the SI unit of inductive reactance?
AThe ounce
BThe ohmage
CThe outage
DThe ohm
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The ohm
1. Reactance plays the same role in the circuit as resistance does.
2. It therefore carries the same dimensions.
3. The dimension of inductive reactance is the same as that of resistance and its SI unit is ohm.
4. So the answer is the ohm.
