Question

An inductor of inductance 4.0 mH has resistance 15 Ω. Impedance when inductive reactance equals resistance?
Options
A 21.2 Ω
Correct Answer
B 12.4 Ω
C 10.7 Ω
D 6.8 Ω
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

X_L = R = 15 Ω. Z = √(R² + X_L²) = √(225+225)=√450=21.21 Ω.

Hint

Z = √(R² + X_L²).
