Correct Option: A

The inductive reactance (XL) of a coil in an AC circuit is given by the formula:

XL = 2πfL

Where:

  • f is the frequency of the AC current (in Hertz)
  • L is the inductance of the coil (in Henries)

Given:

  • L = 7 H
  • f = 50 Hz

Calculate XL:

XL = 2 x π x 50 x 7 ≈ 2200 Ω
