Homework Statement



There's a coil, resistance R=7Ω, and inductance L=1mH, and its powered by a generator with variable frequency and Vmax=10V.
At what frequency is inductive reactance equal to resistance? (when z=R√2)

Homework Equations



z=R√2, z=√(R2+(ωL)2)

The Attempt at a Solution



I plugged in z=R√2 to z=√(R2+(ωL)2), and solved for ω. This ends up just simplifying to ω=R/L, which is 7Ω/0.001H, giving 7000Hz. But my teachers answer is 1110Hz. Am I doing something wrong here? Been stuck on this for a while.

Okay...isn't that basically the same thing? Frequency in measured in hertz, which is an inverse second. And also my teachers answer specifically says 1110 Hz
 
ahh. ω=2∏f. my bad...i don't know why i didnt recognize that. thanks!
