Question : A current of 1A flows through a coil when it is connected across a DC battery of 100V. If DC battery is replaced by an AC source of 100 V and angular frequency 100 rad/s, the current reduces to 0.5 A. Find
(i) impedance of the circuit
(ii) self-inductance of the coil.
(iii) phase difference between the voltage and the current

Solution :
In DC Circuit
I=1A
V=100V
Resistance of the inductor(R) = V/I = 100/1=100Ω
In AC Circuit
V=100V
ω=100 rad/s
I=0.5 A
(i) Impedance of the circuit (Z) = V/I = 100/0.5 = 200Ω
(ii) We know
z²=XL²+R²
XL²=z²-R²
XL²=(200)²-(100)²
XL²=40000-10000
XL²=30000
XL=√30000
XL=100√3
ωL=100√3
100L=100√3
L=√3 H
(iii)
Phase Difference (φ)
tanφ=XL/R=ωL/R=100√3/100 = √3
φ=60°
