Explanation

**Inductive reactance** X_L = ω L =2π f L (Ω), L inductance (H), f frequency (Hz), ω=2πf angular frequency (rad/s), opposes AC, impedance Z = X_L for pure L, current lags voltage by 90°, I_rms = V_rms/X_L, I_peak = V_peak/X_L. For 85 mH, 50 Hz, X_L=2π×50×0.085=26.7 Ω, V_rms=230 V, I_rms=8.61 A, I_peak=12.18 A. RMS current: I = (V/R) . Given: V = 160 V , R = 80 Ω . I = (160/80) = 2 A . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²), I_rms = V_rms/Z, P = V_rms I_rms cosφ, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, calculation gives 2
