Question

Compute the reactance of a 0.450 H inductor at the frequency of 60.0 Hz. Express your answer in ohms.

Answer 1

Answer:

169.67Ω

Explanation:

This question is asking for the inductive reactance, which is calculated as follows:

X(L) = 2πfL

Where;

X(L) = inductive reactance (Ω)

f = frequency (Hz)

π = 3.142

L = inductance (Henry)

Given the information provided, f = 60Hz, L = 0.450H

X(L) = 2πfL

X(L) = 2 × 3.142 × 60 × 0.450

X(L) = 6.284 × 60 × 0.450

X(L) = 6.284 × 27

X(L) = 169.668

X(L) = 169.67Ω
