The total inductive reactance of a parallel inductor circuit is: A. equal to the sum of the individual inductive-reactance values B. equal to the sum of the individual inductance values C. equal to the source voltage divided by total current D. less than the inductance value of the smallest inductor E. None of the above

equal to the sum of the individual inductive-reactance values
equal to the sum of the individual inductance values
equal to the source voltage divided by total current
less than the inductance value of the smallest inductor E. None of the above

The correct answer is: E. None of the above

The total inductive reactance of a parallel inductor circuit is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the inverses of the individual inductive reactances. This can be expressed mathematically as:

$X_L = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{X_1} + \frac{1}{X_2} + … + \frac{1}{X_n}}$

where $X_L$ is the total inductive reactance, $X_1$, $X_2$, …, $X_n$ are the individual inductive reactances, and $n$ is the number of inductors.

Option A is incorrect because the total inductive reactance is not equal to the sum of the individual inductive-reactance values. Option B is incorrect because the total inductive reactance is not equal to the sum of the individual inductance values. Option C is incorrect because the total inductive reactance is not equal to the source voltage divided by total current. Option D is incorrect because the total inductive reactance is not less than the inductance value of the smallest inductor.
