How to get frequency, w (omega), when calculating reactance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating inductive and capacitive reactance using the formulas XL = jwL and XC = 1 / jwC. A discrepancy arises regarding the frequency value, where the professor states omega (w) as 10000, but the question indicates a frequency of 6 cos(10^3t), suggesting omega should be 1000. Participants agree that this likely indicates a typo in the solution sheet. Clarification on standard frequency values is sought, but the focus remains on resolving the inconsistency in the provided frequency. The conversation highlights the importance of accurately identifying frequency in reactance calculations.

Hi,
I came across a question from our weekly set of questions that involved finding the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance, ie: XL = jwL and XC = 1 / jwC.
In the solution sheet, the professor wrote that the frequency, w (omega) = 10000, however, in the question sheet, it was nowhere to be found. Is 10000 the standard frequency or is there a way of determining it?
I will upload 2 images of the solution to illustrate my query:

Engineering news on Phys.org
The frequency is specified as is = 6 cos(10^3t) in the form Acos(wt). So I think it might be a typo. I think omega should be 1000, not 10000.
 
@analogdesign , Oh yeah, of course. My bad. Thanks

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
