	What is the relation between current and frequency?

	There is no relationship until you turn the switch on!

	Actually, there is no direct relationship even then. Current is related to load, frequency is only related to supply if there is no load. If there is a load, there is a relationship between current and frequency, but it is still dependent upon a myriad of other factors so it is essentially meaningless to discuss only those two entities together. __________________ All I every really wanted to be, was...

	Inductive reactance( XL) is the resistance in a circuit due to inductance.The formula is 2 PiFL, where F=Frequency, and L= Inductance.The current thru the inductor depends on the supply voltage and frequency, as well as other components in the circuit,the type of circuit, and will vary accordingly. If you are talking about a purely inductive circuit, it is very straighforward. I =E*R, where I =Current E = Voltage, and R= XL in Ohms.But remember, you have to determine XL first, using the first formula. Does this help? HTRN

	EDIT for #4 :Used wrong operator.....should be I=E/R------ NOT E*R... Sometimes I am slysdesxic...Sorry 'bout that... HTRN

	What in, Mate, a capacitor or an inductor? In a capacitor, I = V/(2ΠfC) In an inductor, I = V*(2ΠfL) Is that what you want? __________________ Essex jobs for Essex yobs! <Burp>.
