Practice mode Physics

A coil has a resistance of 100 Ω. With a 1000 Hz AC supply, the applied voltage leads the current by 45°. What is the inductance of the coil?

Correct answer A. 16 mH

Explanation

A 45° phase angle means reactance equals resistance, so 2πfL = 100 Ω and L = 100 ÷ (2π × 1000) ≈ 0.016 H, or 16 mH.
