SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the inductance (L) for an inductor connected to a 15 kHz oscillator with a peak current of 65 mA and an RMS voltage of 6.0 V. The formula used is Il = Vl / Xl, where Xl = frequency * L. The correct calculation involves converting the RMS voltage to peak voltage by multiplying by the square root of 2, leading to the correct inductance value. The initial incorrect answer of 0.979 mH was due to neglecting this conversion.
