Question

An AC generator has an output rms voltage of 100.0 V at a frequency of 42.0 Hz. If the generator is connected across a 45.0-mH inductor, find the following. (a) inductive reactance Ω (b) rms current A (c) maximum current in the circuit

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 11.8692‬ ohm

(b) 12.447 A

(c) 17.6 A

Explanation:

a)  inductive reactance Z = L Ω

    = L x 2π x F

    = 45.0 x 10⁻³ x 2(3.14) x 42

    = 11.8692‬ ohm

b) rms current

    = 100 / 8.034

    = 12.447 A

c) maximum current in the circuit

    = I eff x rac2

    = 12.447 x 1.414

    = 17.6 A
