What should be the inductance of an inductor connected to 200 ~V , 50 ~Hz source so that the maximum current of 2 A flows through it?
Options
- A2 H
- B2 H
- C2 H
- D2 H
Correct answer
D. 2 H
Step-by-step solution
The root mean square voltage is given as V_ rms = 200 V . The maximum current is given as I_ max = 2 A . The root mean square current is I_ rms = I_ max 2 = 2 2 = 1 A . The inductive reactance X_L is given by X_L = V_ rms I_ rms = 200 1 = 200 . The formula for inductive reactance is X_L = L = 2 f L , where f = 50 Hz . Substituting the values: 200 = 2 50 L . 200 = 100 L . L = 200 100 = 2 H . Answer: 2 H
