AI Thread Summary
To calculate inductance in an R-L circuit, start by determining the resistance using the formula R = V/I, which gives a value of 8.3333 ohms for a 15A current at 125V. Next, identify the relevant equations for inductors in AC circuits, such as impedance (Z = √(R² + (XL)²)) and inductive reactance (XL = 2πfL). Use the supply voltage of 230V and the frequency of 50Hz to find the total impedance needed for the circuit. This foundational understanding will guide the calculation of the inductance value.

Homework Statement


[/B]
A resistive load takes a current of 15A at 125V, 50Hz. An inductor is then connected in series in order that the same current should be drawn from a 230V, 50Hz supply. Assuming the inductor has no resistance, calculate

Homework Equations


The final impedance of the circuit
The inductance of the inductor

The Attempt at a Solution


dont want answer want to know where to start, is resistance of resistor 8.3333(R=125v/15a

Start by collecting equations relevant to the problem. You have written more of the problem statement in place of relevant equations. What equations pertain to inductors in an ac circuit?

Your resistance value is correct.
