Question
A 240 V a.c. source is connected across a pure 1.0 H inductor. Find the current through the inductor if the frequency of the source is 60 Hz.
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
XL = 2pifL = 2pi(60)(1.0) = 120pi ohms. I = V/XL = 240/(120pi) = 2/pi A.
Hint
XL = 2*pi*f*L = 2*pi(60)(1.0) = 120*pi ohms.
