Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the inductance and reactance of an inductor at specific frequencies, specifically at 90 Hz and 130 Hz. The subject area is electrical circuits, focusing on inductance and reactance concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to calculate the inductance based on provided reactance and frequency, while also calculating the reactance at a different frequency. Some participants question the clarity of the initial reactance value provided.

Discussion Status

The discussion includes verification of the calculations presented by the original poster, with one participant confirming the correctness of the answers. There is an acknowledgment of a potential omission in the initial problem statement regarding the reactance value.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the requirement for answers to have three significant digits and the need for clarity in the problem setup, particularly regarding the initial reactance value.

Dear all,

could someone pls check my 2 answers, if they're correct?

thanks

An inductor has a reactance of at 9.0E1 Hz. Answer the following questions:
All answers must have three significant digits unless otherwise specified.

(a)What is its inductance? (Unit: H)

answer:

X(L) = wL

L = 99 / (2 * (pie) * 90)

= 0.175H

(b) What is its reactance at 1.3E2 Hz? (Unit: ohm)

answer:

X(L) = wL
= (2 * pie * 1.3E2) (0.175)
= 143 ohm

thanks again

Did you omit a number?

reactance of at 9.0E1 Hz.

Did you mean to say, "a reactance of ______ at 90 Hz"?
 
Sorry,
it's 99 ohm at 90Hz

thanks

Both of your answers look good to me.
 
Thanks a lot Janitor!
