TSny said:I get the same result. Should you include units with your answer?
Yes, but the information you used to get the solution did have units (V, mH, sec), so when you calculated the answer, it also gets units. Maybe your grader doesn't care, but they are there, and should be included IMO. This is a really good habit to develop in any engineering field.scizzzro said:Thanks, it says for just a number for inductor current without units just for this question
An inductor is an electrical component that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. It is typically made of a coiled wire and is used in circuits to control the flow of current.
The current in an inductor can be calculated using the formula I = V / XL, where I is the current in amps, V is the voltage in volts, and XL is the inductive reactance in ohms. Inductive reactance is calculated using the formula XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency in hertz and L is the inductance in henrys.
AC (alternating current) is a type of current that changes direction periodically, while DC (direct current) flows in only one direction. AC is commonly used in household electricity, while DC is used in batteries and electronic devices.
Inductance affects the current in a circuit by resisting changes in the flow of current. When the current in an inductor changes, it creates a back EMF (electromotive force) that opposes the change. This can cause the current to lag behind the voltage in an AC circuit.
Inductors are commonly used in electronic circuits to filter out unwanted frequencies, store energy, and control current flow. They are also used in power supplies, motors, transformers, and many other electrical devices.
