As shown in the figure an inductor of inductance 200 mH is connected to an AC source of emf 220 Vand frequency 50 Hz. The instantaneous voltage of the source is 0 V when the peak value of current is aπ A. The value of a is _____ .

Solution

The reactance of the given inductor is,

XL=ωL=2πfL=2π×50×0.2=20π Ω.

The maximum current in the given circuit will be,

i0=2VrmsXL=2×22020π=242π A

Therefore, a=242
