A coil’s impedance is 71.1 Ω and its inductive
reactance is 49.3 Ω.
What is its resistance?

Correct answer: 51.232 Ω.

Explanation:

Let : XL = 49.3 Ω ,
Z = 71.1 Ω , and
XC = 0 Ω .

The resistance, impedance, and reactance are

related through the basic equation
q
Z = R2 + (XL − XC )2 .

Thus
q
R= Z 2 − XL2
q
= (71.1 Ω)2 − (49.3 Ω)2
