Question: What is the impedance of a circuit with a 6Ω resistor in series with a 4Ω inductor at a frequency of 50Hz (assuming inductive reactance XL = 2πfL)?
Options:
Correct Answer: 8Ω
Solution:
Impedance in series is Z = R + jXL. If XL = 2π(50)(L) = 4Ω, then Z = 6Ω + j4Ω. The magnitude is √(6² + 4²) = 7.21Ω.
