Alternating Current
A 44 mH inductor is connected to 220 V, 50 Hz ac supply. Determine the rms value of the current in the circuit.
Given data in the question can be listed as,
Inductance , L = 44mH = 0.044 H
RMS Voltage ,Vrms = 220 V
Frequency, f = 50Hz
Irms = ?
Inductive reactance ,
XL = ωL = 2πfL = 2x3.14x50x 0.044 = 13.82 ohm
Irms = Vrms / XL
Irms = 220 / 13.82 = 15.92 A
