Inductive reactance of 1mH at 1MHz = 6.28kΩ
Worked answer for the reactance of a 1mH inductor at 1MHz, using Xl = 2πfL.
Xl (inductive reactance) 6.28kΩ 1mH inductor · 1MHz
| Frequency (f) | 1MHz |
| Inductance (L) | 1mH |
| Formula | Xl = 2πfL |
| Reactance (Xl) | 6.28kΩ |
Inductive reactance rises as frequency rises — an inductor blocks high frequencies and passes DC (Xl → 0 as f → 0).
