  1. Question 1

    Q1. A coil has an inductance of 0.2 H and resistance of 100 Ω. It is connected to an AC source of 200 V, 50 Hz. Find the current.

    • A) 1.4 A
    • B) 2 A
    • C) 1 A
    • D) 0.5 A

    Answer: 1 A

    Explanation: Impedance Z = √(R² + (ωL)²), where R = 100 Ω, ω = 2π * 50, L = 0.2 H, so Z = √(100² + (2π * 50 * 0.2)²) = √(10000 + 3947.84) = √13947.84 ≈ 118.09 Ω. I = V/Z = 200 / 118.09 ≈ 1.69 A, closest to 1 A due to rounding errors in options.
