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.
Options
A 2/pi A
Correct Answer
B 2 A
C pi/2 A
D 2*pi A
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.
