A.C. Theory, Lvl 1: Lesson #2- Working with inductors that are in series and/ or Parallel. Flashcards
Series
Parallel
True or False?
The total inductance of series and parallel inductors in a circuit is calculated the same way as the total resistance is calculated for series and parallel resistors in a circuit.
True
True or False?
In order to find the total inductive reactance in a series or parallel circuit containing more than one inductor, the same method must be used that was used to find total inductance.
True
Adding additional inductors in series in a circuit that already contains inductors will ? the total inductive reactance of the circuit.
Increase
Adding additional inductors in parallel in a circuit that already contains inductors will ? the total inductive reactance of the circuit.
Decrease
What is a inductor?
Anything that has a coil, such as motors and transformers
What is the formula for inductive reactance?
XL=2πFL
What effects does increasing frequency in the circuit have on the current?
Makes the current decrease
As the frequency of a purely inductive circuit increases, the inductive reactance of the circuit?
Increases
Connecting inductors in series will cause the circuit current to ?
Decrease
What happens to the inductance in a circuit when the frequency is decreased?
