Sample Questions

1multiple correct

The inductive reactance XL depends on:

Show answer

Frequency of AC, Inductance L

Inductive reactance XL = ωL = 2πfL, so it depends directly on both frequency and inductance.

2multiple choice

In a purely capacitive circuit, current:

Show answer

Leads voltage by 90°

In a capacitor, current leads voltage by π/2 or 90° because current must flow before voltage can build up across the capacitor.

3multiple choice

The impedance Z of an RLC series circuit is:

Show answer

√[R² + (XL - XC)²]

Impedance is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem from the impedance triangle, with R as one side and (XL - XC) as the other.

4multiple correct

At resonance in an RLC circuit:

Show answer

XL = XC, Current is maximum, Impedance is minimum

At resonance, XL = XC, so impedance Z = R (minimum), current is maximum, and phase angle is 0°.
