Alternating Current

Question:

A pure inductor of 70 mH is connected to a source of 220 V. The frequency of the source is 50 Hz. The current in the circuit is

Options:

10.0 A

3.15 A

4.4 A

5 A

Correct Answer:

10.0 A

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 10.0 A

The inductive reactance ($X_L$) is,

$X_L=2\pi VL$

$=2\pi(50)(70×10^{-3})$

$≃21.99Ω$

Using Ohm's law,

$I=\frac{V}{X_L}=\frac{220}{21.99}≃10.0A$
