When a particular inductor is connected to a sinusoidal voltage with a 141 V amplitude, a peak current of 8.4 A appears in the inductor. What is the maximum current if the frequency of the applied voltage is doubled? AnswWhat is the inductive reactance at the new frequency? Answer in units of Ωer in units of A.
inductive reactance = 2 * pi * frequency * inductance
If the frequency is doubled, then the inductive reactance is
doubled.
by ohm's Law
voltage = current * reactance
141 = 8.4 * reactance
reactance = 16.785 ohm
If the Voltage is CONSTANT and the Reactance is DOUBLED (by the
frequency being doubled), then the Current will down by HALF.
reactance at new frequency = 2 * 16.785
reactance at new frequency = 33.570 ohm
again by ohm's law
141 = I * 2 * 16.785
current = 4.2 A
