Question:

A resistor and an inductor are connected in a series circuit with an ac source.?

A resistor and an inductor are connected in a series circuit with an ac source. If the frequency of the source is increased, the current in the circuit willa)increase b)decrease c)not change

Answer:

Inductive impedance is proportional to frequency by the equation X omega L. where omega is 2 pi time frequency. So higher frequency means higher impedance and therefore lower current.
Reactance of inductor (X) is given via X 2?fL X 2 * ? * 106 * 0.2 X 133.2 ? Impedance (Z) of circuit: Z ?(R? + X?) R 215?; X 133.2 ? Z 252.ninety two ? Ohm's regulation i v/r I 234 / 252.ninety two I 0.925 A Voltage in the time of R is in area with the availability voltage, so area attitude arctan(X/R) arctan (133.2 / 215) 31.seventy 8°
b)decrease
