Which of the following is a type of resistance in an AC transformer circuit?

Conductance
Impedance
Inductance
Reactance

The correct answer is: Conductance

The correct answer is B Impedance. Conductance is the inverse of resistance and measures the ease at which electric current flows. Inductance and reactance are related to capacitance, not resistance. Conductance is defined as the ratio between current and voltage and is typically used to measure direct current circuits. However, in an AC transformer circuit, the amplitude and phase of the voltage and current are constantly changing, resulting in impedance being the most appropriate measure of resistance.
