Answer

a) ${\bf 31.8}\;\rm kHz$ b) ${\bf 0}\;\rm V$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that $$V_L=I_LX_L$$ where $X_L=\omega L=2\pi f L$, so $$V_L=I_LX_L=2\pi f L I_L$$ Solving for $f$; $$ f =\dfrac{V_L}{2\pi L I_L}$$ Plug the given; $$ f =\dfrac{5}{2\pi (500\times 10^{-6}) (50\times 10^{-3})}$$ $$f=\color{red}{\bf 31.8}\;\rm kHz$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ The inductor voltage is given by $$v_L=V_L\cos(\omega t)=5\cos(\omega t)\tag 1$$ We know that the inductor current lags the inductor voltage by $\pi/2=90^\circ$, so $$i_L=I_L\cos\left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) $$ So when $i_L=I_L$, $$\cos\left(\omega t-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=1$$ which means that $$\omega t-\frac{\pi}{2}=0$$ and hence, $$\omega t=\frac{\pi}{2}$$ Plug into (1), $$v_L=5\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\color{red}{\bf 0}\;\rm V$$
