A 100 Hz AC voltage source, with a peak output of 170 V, is connected to an inductor. If the rms current through the inductor is 1 A, what is the value of the inductor?
1. 1.9 H
2. 190 mH
3. 19 mH
4. 1.9 mH
The source voltage is
Let the inductance of the inductor is L.
So, the inductive reactance is
The rms voltage is given by
The rms current through the inductor is given by
