Answer:

Inductive reactance is 125.7 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Inductance,
L=50\ mH=0.05\ H

Voltage source, V = 15 volt

Frequency, f = 400 Hz

The inductive reactance of the circuit is equivalent to the impedance. It opposes the flow of electric current throughout the circuit. It is given by :


X_L=2\pi fL


X_L=2\pi * 400\ Hz* 0.05\ H


X_L=125.66\ \Omega


X_L=125.7\ \Omega

So, the inductive reactance is 125.7 Ω. Hence, this is the required solution.
