Answer

a) ${\bf50}\;\rm Hz$ b) ${\bf 1.59}\;\rm mH$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the frequency is given by $$f=\dfrac{1}{T}$$ where, from the given graphs, the period is 0.02 s. $$f=\dfrac{1}{0.02}=\color{red}{\bf50}\;\rm Hz$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Recalling that the inductor voltage is given by $$V_L=I_LX_L$$ where $X_L= \omega L$, so $$V_L=I_L\omega L =2\pi f I_LL$$ Hence the inductance is given by $$L=\dfrac{V_L}{ 2\pi f I_L} $$ We can see, from the given graph, $I_L=2.0$ A, and $V_L=1.0$ V. Plug the known; $$L=\dfrac{1.0}{ 2\pi (50)(2)} $$ $$L=\color{red}{\bf 1.59}\;\rm mH$$
