Question:

An inductance coil has a reactance of 100 \(\Omega\). When an AC signal of frequency 1000 Hz is applied to the coil, the applied voltage leads the current by 45o. The self-inductance of the coil is

Show Hint

A real coil has resistance and inductance; the 100 \(\Omega\) is its total opposition (impedance) and \(X_L = Z\sin 45^\circ\). Then \(L = X_L/\omega\).

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

A coil has both resistance \(R\) and inductive reactance \(X_L\), so the voltage leads the current by \(\phi\) with \(\tan\phi = \frac{X_L}{R}\). Here the quoted 100 \(\Omega\) is the coil's overall opposition, i.e. the impedance \(Z = 100\ \Omega\) (this is the reading that gives one of the options).
\(X_L = Z\sin\phi = 100\sin 45^\circ = 70.7\ \Omega\).
\(X_L = \omega L = 2\pi f L\), so \(L = \frac{70.7}{2\pi\times1000} = \frac{70.7}{6283} \approx 1.125\times10^{-2}\) H.
\(L \approx 1.1\times10^{-2}\) H.
Answer: (4) \(1.1\times10^{-2}\) H
