Question

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

Answer 1

169.65 Ω

Step-by-step 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
