Homework Statement



A series circuit contains only a resistor and an inductor. The voltage V of the generator is fixed. If R = 12 ohms and L = 4.5 mH, find the frequency at which the current is one-half its value at zero frequency. Note: The ac current and voltage are rms values and power is an average value unless indicated otherwise.


Homework Equations



f=sqrt(3R)/2*pi*L


The Attempt at a Solution



I calculated 212.21 Hz but this was incorrect
