  2. B \(100 \Omega, \sqrt{3} \mathrm{H}\)
  3. C \(200 \Omega, 1 \mathrm{H}\)
  4. D \(100 \Omega, 1 \mathrm{H}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(200 \Omega, \sqrt{3} / \pi \mathrm{H}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When dc is applied
\(i=\frac{V}{R} \Rightarrow 1=\frac{100}{R} \Rightarrow R=100 \Omega\)

When ac is applied
\(i=\frac{V}{Z} \Rightarrow 0.5=\frac{100}{Z} \Rightarrow Z=200 \Omega\)

Hence \(Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2}=\sqrt{R^2+4 \pi^2 v^2 L^2}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow(200)^2=(100)^2+4 \pi^2(50)^2 L^2 \\
& \Rightarrow L=0.55 H
\end{aligned}\)
