How does a coil react to AC?
  • As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases
  • As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases
  • Correct Answer
    As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases
  • As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases
