RL and RC Series Circuits

In an a.c. circuit, a resistance R = 40 Ω\Omega and an inductance 'L' are connected in series. If the phase angle between voltage and current is 45 ∘{}^\circ, then the value of the inductive reactance is (tan 45∘{}^\circ = 1)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. For series LR, tan⁡ϕ=XLR\tan\phi = \frac{X_L}{R}.
  2. tan⁡45∘=1⇒XL=R=40 Ω\tan 45^\circ = 1 \Rightarrow X_L = R = 40\ \Omega
  3. So the answer is (b) 40 Ω40\ \Omega.
