Question

A virtual current of 4A and 50 Hz flows in an ac circuit containing a coil. The power consumed in the coil is 240 W. If the virtual voltage across the coil is 100 V its inductance will be

Moderate
Solution

R = \frac{P}{{i_{rms}^2}} = \frac{{240}}{{16}} = 15\Omega

Z = \frac{V}{i} = \frac{{100}}{4} = 25\Omega

Now\,\,{X_L} = \sqrt {{Z^2} - {R^2}} = \sqrt {{{(25)}^2} - {{(15)}^2}} = 20\Omega

\therefore 2\pi \nu L = 20 \Rightarrow L = \frac{{20}}{{2\pi \times 50}} = \frac{1}{{5\pi }}Hz
