Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the impedance of a circuit with a 10Ω resistor and a 5Ω inductor at a frequency of 60Hz?
  • Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. We have a resistor (R) of 10Ω and an inductor (L) of 5Ω at a frequency (f) of 60Hz.
  • Step 2: Calculate the inductive reactance (XL) using the formula XL = 2πfL. Substitute the values: XL = 2 * π * 60 * 5.
  • Step 3: Calculate the value of XL. First, calculate 2 * π (approximately 6.2832), then multiply by 60 and 5 to get XL.
  • Step 4: Now, use the formula for impedance (Z): Z = √(R^2 + (XL)^2). Substitute R = 10Ω and the calculated XL value.
  • Step 5: Calculate R^2, which is 10^2 = 100. Then calculate (XL)^2 using the value from Step 3.
  • Step 6: Add R^2 and (XL)^2 together.
  • Step 7: Take the square root of the sum from Step 6 to find the impedance Z.
