Question

An ideal inductor takes a current of 10A when connected to a 125 V, 50 Hz AC supply. A pure resistor across the same source takes 12.5 A. If the two are connected in series across a 1002V, 40 Hz supply, the current through the circuit will be

A
10A

Solution

The correct option is A 10A
Inductor
XL=12510=12.5Ω

Resistor
XR=12512.5=10Ω

XL=12.5(ω2ω1)Ω=12.5(4050)Ω=10Ω

both are connected in series

z=102+(10)2

=102Ω

Vrms=1002 V

Irms=1002102=10A
