Question

Compute the reactance of a 0.450 h inductor at the frequency of 60.0 hz.

Answer 1

Answer:

169.65 Ω

Explanation:

Given:

Inductance L = 0.450 H

Frequency F = 60.0 Hz

                          Inductive reactance $X_{L}$ = ωL

ω is the angular frequency = 2πf

                       ∴ Inductive reactance $X_{L}$ = 2πfL

Substituting the values of frequency f, inductance L and constant π into the equation above;

                             $X_{L}$ = 2× π × 60 × 0.450

                             Inductive reactance $X_{L}$  = 169.65 Ω
