An alternating emf E=440sin100πt is applied to a circuit containing an inductance of 2πH. If an a.c. ammeter is connected in the circuit, its reading will be :
  1. 4.4 A
  2. 1.55 A
  3. 2.2 A
  4. 3.11 A

Solution

Given that E=440sin100πt, L=2πH

Angular frequency of the source is ω=100π rad s-1.

Now the reactance of the inductor will be,

XL=ωL=100π2π=1002 Ω

Therefore, the peak current I0=E0XL=4401002=2.22 A

AC ammeter reads RMS value therefore reading will be Irms 

Irms=I02=2.2 A
