A coil of inductance 0.50 H and resistance 100Ω is connected to a 240 V, 50 Hz ac supply.What is the maximum current in the coil?

Answer»

Solution :`omega=2pif=2pitimes10^4rad.s^-1`
`I_(max)=V_(max)/sqrt(R^2+omega^2L^2)=(240sqrt2)/(sqrt(100^2+4pi^2. 10^8 .5^2))=0.011A`
`thereforephi=tan^-1{X_L/R}=tan^-1((2pifL)/R)`
`=tan^-1 ""(2pitimes10^4times0.5)/100`
`tan^-1(100pi)approxpi/2`
`THEREFORE` Time interval=`phi.T/360=phi/(360f)`
`=90/(360times10times10^3)=0.25times10^-4s`
`I_(max)` is very SMALL. So it can be concluded that at high FREQUENCIES an inductance behaves as an OPEN circuit.
