An inductor is connected to a 21.84 kHz oscillator. The peak current is 88.78 mA when the rms voltage is 58.62 V. What is the value of the inductance L, in millihenry's?

Let's name the variables we're given and that we know:

Vrms: rms voltage; Vrms = 58.62 V

ΔImax: maximum (peak) current; ΔImax = 88.78 mA = 88.78*10^-3 A

f: frequency; f = 21.84 kHz = 21.84*10^3 Hz

Now let's name some unknowns:

Irms: rms current

XL: inductive reactance

L: inductance

From equations and variables we know:

Irms = ΔImax/sqrt(2) = 88.78*10^-3/sqrt(2)

Irms = 0.063 A

XL = Vrms/Irms = 58.62/0.063

XL = 930.476 Ω

Finally,

L = XL/(2πf) = 930.476/(2π*21.84*10^3)

L = 0.00678 H = 6.78 mH
