#10

Which of the following statements about inductors in DC circuits is true?

Inductors block the flow of DC current
Explanation

Inductors prevent the flow of DC current.

#11

Which of the following statements about inductors is correct?

Inductors block DC current but allow AC current to pass through
Explanation

Inductors impede DC current but permit AC current flow.

#12

What happens to the inductive reactance of an inductor as frequency increases?

It increases
Explanation

Inductive reactance rises with increasing frequency.

#13

What happens to the current through an inductor when the frequency of the applied voltage increases?
