Question:

Inductor connected to AC source?

A 4 mH inductor is connected to an AC voltage source of 149 V rms. If the rms current in the circuit is 0.83 A, what is the frequency of the source?

Answer:

Use the equation X 2pi*f*L. You are given X indirectly, through V and I. Since I V/X, X V/I. Once you solve for X you can put this in the first equation and solve for f. X V/I 149/.83 179.52 X/(2pi*L) f 179.52/(2pi*.004) 7142.797 Hz
