To calculate the current in the inductor, we can use the relationship between voltage, inductance, and frequency in an AC circuit.
The formula is:
1= V / (2nfL)
Where:
• I is the current flowing through the inductor (measured in amperes, A)
• V is the voltage across the inductor (measured in volts, V)
• fis the frequency of the AC signal (measured in hertz, Hz)
• Lis the inductance of the inductor (measured in henries, H)
Given:
L = 0.071 H (inductance)
V = 32 V (voltage across the inductor)
f= 600 Hz (frequency)
Substituting the given values into the formula:
1= 32 V / (2m × 600 Hz × 0.071 H)
1 = 0.150 A (rounded to three decimal
places)
Therefore, the current in the inductor is approximately 0.150 A.
