Inductive reactance of 100µH at 10kHz = 6.28Ω
Worked answer for the reactance of a 100µH inductor at 10kHz, using Xl = 2πfL.
Xl (inductive reactance) 6.28Ω 100µH inductor · 10kHz
| Frequency (f) | 10kHz |
| Inductance (L) | 100µH |
| Formula | Xl = 2πfL |
| Reactance (Xl) | 6.28Ω |
Inductive reactance rises as frequency rises — an inductor blocks high frequencies and passes DC (Xl → 0 as f → 0).
