The resistance of an inductor is generally referred to as the series resistance, sometimes noted as RL.
Note that resistance is a DC measurement and that an "ideal" textbook inductor has an RL of 0.
The reactance of an inductor is an AC measurement which measures the reaction of a component's current flow to an alternating voltage and is frequency dependent and directly proportional to the inductor's inductance, measured in Henrie's.
The impedance is most commonly used when talking about inductors or capacitors and is a combination of resistance and reactance.

Inductive reactance has a unit in?
Ohms, resistance in an inductor increases as the frequency of the AC signal increases, this "artificial resistance" is called impedence, and it is measured in ohms
When inductor is called short circuit and open circuit?
In DC inductor is short circuited .
Why does the inductance of inductor varies with frequency?
It doesn't. the impedance of the inductor will, following the rule j*w*l, where l is inductance, w is frequency in radians and j is the imaginary number designating this a reactance, not resistance.
Does Inductor consume any power in electric circuit?
If it's a pure inductor, no power consumption. However it must be wound using unobtanium wire which has zero resistance, and the core must be vacuum. Air is nearly lossless.
Are inductors measured in ohm's Henry's or reactance?
Inductors can be measured in all three of the above:When an the value of an inductor is given in henrys you are being given its "capacity" to store energy in a magnetic field.Because the inductor is not made of a perfect conductor (one without resistance) it will inevitably has some associated resistance. This is the value that is being referred to if the value of ohms is given.If an inductor is part of an AC (alternating current) circuit it will have a changing "resistance" (resistance as seen by the source) that is directly related to the frequency of the circuit. This is where the reactance value would be given. It equation is given as: 2*pi*f*L. Where f is frequency in hertz and L is the inductance given in henrys..
Inductor works in direct current?
Yes, an inductor works with direct current. It is called an electromagnet. Of course, a practical electromagnet has series resistance, otherwise the current in the inductor would increase to the limit of the current/voltage source.
Inductive reactance has a unit in?
Ohms, resistance in an inductor increases as the frequency of the AC signal increases, this "artificial resistance" is called impedence, and it is measured in ohms
The resistance that an inductor poses to the flow of ac?
An inductor has two properties. The first is resistance(measured in ohms), which is due to the length, cross-sectional area, and resistivity of the conductor from which it is wound. The second is inductance (measured in henrys), which is due to the length of the inductor, its cross-sectional area, the number of turns, and the permeability of its core.The inductor's resistance limits the value of current flowing through the inductor. The inductor's inductance opposes any change in current.
What is the use of resistance in a LC circuit?
every inductor has some resistance. In circuit diagram, ideal inductor is shown in series with a resistor(value being equal to coil's resistance) to make analysis easy.
How can you determine resistance of inductor in single phase with DC source?
Your question is confusing -is the inductor supplied with a.c. or d.c.?In either case, you can determine the inductance of an inductor by disconnecting it, and measuring its resistance with an ohmmeter. If you want a really accurate value of resistance, you could use a Wheatstone Bridge, instead.
What is working principle of inductor?
A changing current through an inductor induces a voltage into the inductor, the direction of which always opposes the change in that current.So, in a d.c. circuit, an inductor will oppose (not prevent) any rise or fall in current, although the magnitude of that current will be determined by the resistance of that inductor, not by its inductance.In an a.c. circuit, because the current is continuously changing both in magnitude and in direction, it acts to continuously oppose the current due to its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the inductor and the frequency of the supply. The vector sum of the inductive reactance of the inductor and the resistance of the inductor, is termed the impedance of the inductor. Inductive reactance, resistance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.
In electronics what are series?
When two or more devices such as resistance,inductor are connected one by one or one after other is called series connection.
Why doesnt a field coil in a DC shunt motor lead to short ciruit when it is a fact that an INDUCTOR is a short circuit to DC?
Yes, an inductor is a short circuit to dc...that's true....IF the inductor is an ideal one, that is, the inductor has no resistance but has inductance only. Anything in real world, as you know, is not ideal. An inductor is usually made of a copper wire. A copper wire has its own resistance. If an inductor coil is thin and long (i.e. many turns), it will provide an appreciable resistance to DC, and will no longer be a short circuit.
Why is the resistance of an inductor low?
Because the whole point of an inductor is to store energy and then give it all back, without dissipating any of it.
Why a pure inductor do not consume power?
whose resistance is zero.but it is practically not possible. there is something resistance present in the wire
What is the reactance value when inductor was saturate?
A: when a coil is saturated there is only resistance of copper
What does a inductor do?
Inductors and capacitors are called reactive elements in electric circuits.these reactive elements also offer resistance in the circuit termed as reactancefor inductor it is wL (-j)for capacitor i is 1/wC (j)where L,C and w are inductance , capacitance and frequency of the AC source respectivelywhen clubbed with resistance the the resultant of the resistance and reactance gives us the impedance of a circuitif the impeadence(R=0) of the circuit is of inductor only then these are called as purely inductive circuitsif the impedence of the circuit is dominated by inductor ( wL > 1/wC ) even though the circuit has resistance and capacitor then these circuits are called inductive circuits
