inductance (L) - correct answer ✔property of a circuit that tends to oppose
any change of current
inductive reactance (X sub L) - correct answer ✔the current limiting property
of an inductor in an AC circuit
Quality (Q) - correct answer ✔of a component. can be calculated by
comparing the resistance to the reactance
reactance - correct answer ✔the opposition to current flow in an AC circuit
offered by pure inductance or pure capacitance
reactive power (VARs sub L) - correct answer ✔(wattless power) calculated
by multiplying reactive voltage by reactive current. can be produced by

What is another name for watts and what is it equal to? - correct answer
✔power, the product of the voltage and the current
When will zero voltage be induced? - correct answer ✔When current
reaches its peak value and the magnetic field starts expanding
When does the greatest rate of change occur between induced voltage and
the circuit current? - correct answer ✔when current passes from negative
through zero and begins to increase in the positive direction
