Question

A \( 95 \, \text{mH} \) inductor is connected to a \( 110 \, \text{V} \), \( 50 \, \text{Hz} \) AC
source. What is the inductive reactance?

Explanation

**AC through inductor** voltage leads current by 90°, V = L dI/dt, V(t)=V_peak sin(ωt+90°), I(t)=I_peak sin ωt, instantaneous power P= V I =½ V_peak I_peak sin2ωt, average zero over cycle because energy stored in magnetic field ½ L I² returned to source each quarter cycle, no net dissipation. X_L = ω L , ω = 2π f . f = 50 Hz , L = 95 × 10⁻³ H . ω = 2 × 3.14 × 50 = 314 rad/s . X_L = 314 × 0.095 = 29.83 Ω . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²), I_rms
