Question

An inductor of 2.5H is connected across a 120V, 60Hz supply. Calculate the current flowing in the inductor.
Options
A 3.46A
B 1.52A
C 0.13A
Correct Answer
D 0.06A
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

X_L = 2πfL = 2π×60×2.5 ≈ 942.5Ω, so I = V/X_L = 120/942.5 ≈ 0.13A.

Hint

First calculate the inductive reactance, then apply Ohm's law (I = V/X_L).
