COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

What should be the inductance of an inductor connected to \(200 \mathrm{~V}, 50 \mathrm{~Hz}\) source so that the maximum current of \(\sqrt{2}\) A flows through it?

  1. A \(\dfrac{\pi}{2} H\)
  2. B \(2 \pi H\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi} H\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{2}{\pi} \mathrm{H}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{2}{\pi} \mathrm{H}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The root mean square voltage is given as \(V_{rms} = 200 \text{ V}\). The maximum current is given as \(I_{max} = \sqrt{2} \text{ A}\). The root mean square current is \(I_{rms} = \dfrac{I_{max}}{\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 1 \text{ A}\). The inductive reactance…
