Final answer:

To find the frequency at which an RL circuit with a resistance of 150Ω and inductance of 50mH has an impedance of 200Ω, calculate the inductive reactance using the impedance formula and solve for frequency using the inductive reactance formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency at which an RL circuit with a resistance of 150Ω (ohms) and an inductance of 50mH (millihenrys) will have an impedance of 200Ω can be found using the formula for impedance in an RL circuit:

Z = √(R^2 + (XL)^2)

Where:

  • Z is the impedance
  • R is the resistance
  • XL is the inductive reactance, XL = 2πfL

Given the impedance (Z) of 200Ω and the resistance (R) of 150Ω, we can solve for XL:

200^2 = 150^2 + XL^2 => XL = √(200^2 - 150^2)

After calculating XL, we can find the frequency (f) by rearranging the formula for inductive reactance:

f = XL / (2πL)

We then substitute the calculated value of XL and the given L (50mH) to find the desired frequency.
