Final answer:

By applying Ohm's law for AC circuits, which is I = V/Z, with the given values of a 120 VAC source and 60 ohms impedance, the current that should flow in the circuit is calculated to be 2 A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how much current should flow in a circuit when a 120 VAC, 60 Hz source is connected to a coil with a total impedance of 60 ohms.

To find the current (I) flowing through the circuit, one can use Ohm's law for AC circuits, which is I = V/Z, where V is the voltage and Z is the impedance.

Plugging in the given values: I = 120 V / 60 Ω, we get 2 A (amps). Therefore, 2 A of current should flow in this circuit.
