A \( 85 \, \text{mH} \) inductor is connected to a \( 230 \, \text{V} \), \( 50 \, \text{Hz} \) AC source. What is the i
**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. X_L = ω L , ω = 2π f . f = 50 Hz , L = 85 × 10⁻³ H . ω = 2 × 3.14 × 50 = 314 rad/s . X_L = 314 × 0.085 = 26.69 Ω . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R²
