← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-frequency alternating current flows through a non-ideal inductor?
A)Increased energy loss as heat✓
B)Resonance with circuit capacitance
C)Reduced inductive reactance overall
D)Uniform magnetic field distribution
💡 Explanation
Increased energy loss as heat occurs because of skin effect, where current concentrates near the conductor's surface in AC systems, increasing resistance and heat generation. This ohmic heating is due to current distribution, therefore energy is lost rather than stored which uniform distribution would avoid.
