Why does an inductor offer an easy path to dc and a resistive path to ac?(a) XL is maximum for dc and infinite for ac(b) XL is zero for dc and infinite for ac(c) XL is zero for dc and finite for ac(d) XL is maximum for dc and finite for acThis question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I'd like to ask this question from AC Voltage Applied to an Inductor topic in chapter Alternating Current of Physics – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT choice is (c) XL is zero for dc and finite for ac

Explanation: For dc, f = 0,

XL = 2π f L

XL = 0

XL is zero for dc and has a finite value for ac Hence an inductor OFFERS an EASY path to dc and a resistive path to ac.
