Inductive reactance of 1mH at 1kHz = 6.28Ω
Worked answer for the reactance of a 1mH inductor at 1kHz, using Xl = 2πfL.
Xl (inductive reactance) 6.28Ω 1mH inductor · 1kHz
| Frequency (f) | 1kHz |
| Inductance (L) | 1mH |
| 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).
