Question:
What is the inductance of an inductor whose reactance is 120 Ω at 80.0 Hz?

Inductive Reactance:

An inductor is an electric device that shows higher resistance to alternating current and lower resistance to constant direct current.
The greater the frequency of the alternating current, the greater would be the resistance by the inductor. This resistance of the
inductor is known as the reactance of the inductor.

The inductive reactance of an inductor of self-inductance L connected in a circuit with the frequency of the source being f will be
given by:

XL = 2πf L

 Answer and Explanation:

Given:

The reactance of the inductor: XL = 120 Ω .

The frequency of the source: f = 80.0 Hz .

Answer

The reactance of the inductor will be given by:

Ask a Question
XL = 2πf L

The self-inductance of the inductor will be given by:

XL
L =
2πf

120 Ω
L =
2π × 80.0 Hz

L ≈ 0.239 H

As a student I could not be any more grateful. Study.com helped me and taught me what I needed to know in the class that my
teacher was not covering.
