SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the frequency of an AC voltage source connected to a 50.0 mH inductor with a voltage of 24.0V and a current of 0.60A. The key formula used is impedance (z), defined as z = V/I, which relates voltage (V), current (I), and the inductive reactance (Lω). The correct frequency can be derived using the relationship f = ω/(2π), leading to the conclusion that the frequency is 60Hz based on the provided parameters.
