Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Explain how you can create a desired phase shift using multiple inductors in series. Discuss the implications on current and voltage.
💡 Hint: Consider total inductance and how it affects reactance.
A pure inductor is subject to an AC voltage of V(t) = 40 sin(100t). Calculate the peak current in the inductor if the inductance is 0.1 H.
💡 Hint: Ensure you know how to derive peak current from voltage using reactance.
