The resistance of an R-L A.C. circuit is 10 Omega. An emf E_0 applied across the circuit at omega=20 rad/s . If the current in the circuit is I_0/sqrt2 what is the value of L ?

Answer»

0.55 H
0.15 H
0.5 H
0.4 H

Solution :Here `R=10 OMEGA`
`omega`=20 rad/s
`I=I_0/sqrt2`
`rArr` Impedence of series connection of R-L
`|Z|=sqrt(R^2+(omegaL)^2)`
Current in CIRCUIT `I=E_0/"|Z|"`
`I_0/sqrt2=E_0/(R(sqrt(1+((omegaL)/R)^2)))`
`I_0/sqrt2=I_0/sqrt(1+((omegaL)/R)^2)[because E_0/R=I_0]`
`therefore 1/sqrt2=1/sqrt(1+((omegaL)/R)^2)`
`therefore 2=1+((omegaL)/R)^2`
`therefore 1=((omegaL)/R)^2`
`therefore 1=(omegaL)/R`
`therefore L=R/omega`
`therefore L=10/20`
`therefore` L=0.5 H
