Problem

A coil of unknown resistance RR and inductance LL is connected to a 120 V (r.m.s.), 60 Hz mains supply. The r.m.s. current in the circuit is 2.5 A and the average power consumed is found to be 180 W. a. (i) Calculate the impedance of the circuit. b. (ii) Determine the power factor of the circuit. c. (iii) Find the resistance RR of the coil. d. (iv) Hence obtain the inductance LL of the coil.
