The same current is flowing in two AC circuits. The first circuit contains a pure inductor and the second, a capacitor. If the frequency of the AC is increased, then the current will:
Decrease in the first and increase in the second
The impedance of an inductor is given by ZL = ωL, where ω = 2πf. As frequency increases, inductive reactance increases, reducing current. For a capacitor, the impedance is ZC = 1/(ωC), meaning an increase in frequency decreases capacitive reactance, increasing current. Thus, the correct answer is (d) – current decreases in the inductor and increases in the capacitor.
