An Inductor can be represented by capacitance and resistance combination, they are not unique. So the answer is B: A capacitance in parallel with the series combination of a resistance and an inductance.

The Correct answer is B.

An inductor coil when current passes through it creates a magnetic field around it and on its core thus having a value of inductance. Since the coil is usually made from copper/conductor, then as we all know that there is no perfect conductor it would have a small value of resistance that would appear in series with the inductance of the coil. Lastly, since the coil has spaces in between its turns, a small value of capacitance would be present since we by definition a capacitor is two conductors in parallel separated by a certain distance.

No. The correct answer is B. It is represented by series of 3 passive components.
