A lamp in which 10 amp current can flow at 15 V, is connected with an alternating source of potential 220 V. The frequency of source is 50 Hz. The inductance of choke coil required to light the bulb is

Step-by-step solution

The resistance of lamp R= V I = 15 10 =1.5 The impedance of circuit Z= V I = 220 10 =22 ohm Again impedance Z= R^2+ ^2 L^2 or 22= (1.5)^2+(2 50)^2 L^2 or (22)^2=(1.5)^2+4 ^2 50^2 L^2 or L=0.07 Henry
