Inductive Reactance Calculator

Find an inductor's reactance at a given frequency.

Calculated Output

Inductive reactance (Ω) 37.699

Formula: XL = 2π·f·L

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Frequency = 60 Hz

3. Inductance = 100 mH

5. Inductive reactance = 37.699Ω

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

XL = 2π·f·L. It rises with frequency, so inductors block high frequencies.

60 Hz, 100 mH → about 37.7 Ω.

Why does it pass DC?

At 0 Hz the reactance is zero, so DC flows freely (limited only by wire resistance).
