B-005-10: Introduction to reactance, impedance

B-005-10-01: How does a coil react to AC?

As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases

As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases

As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases

As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases



B-005-10-02: How does a capacitor react to AC?

As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases

As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases

As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases

As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases



B-005-10-03: The reactance of capacitors increases as:

AC frequency decreases

applied voltage increases

applied voltage decreases

AC frequency increases



B-005-10-04: In inductances, AC may be opposed by both resistance of winding wire and reactance due to inductive effect. The term which includes resistance and reactance is:
