What is the effect of inductance in high frequency circuits?

Answer:
Inductive reactance is proportional to frequency...

XL = 2 pi f L

... so, the higher the frequency, the higher the reactance. At a sufficiently high frequency, the inductor would appear to be an open circuit. Note, however, that at very high frequencies, parasitic capacitance becomes a factor.
