Answer

(a) $12.2A$ (b) $0.5$ (c) $6.09A$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $X_L=2\pi fL$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $X_L=2\pi(1.0\times 10^3Hz)(0.290\times 10^{-3}Hz)$ $X_L=1.82\Omega$ Now $I_{rms}=\frac{V_{rms}}{X_{L}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_{rms}=\frac{22.2V}{1.82\Omega}$ $I_{rms}=12.2A$ (b) The new rms is given as $I^{\prime}_{rms}=I_{rms}\frac{f}{f^{\prime}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I^{\prime}_{rms}=I_{rms}(\frac{1.0KHz}{2.0KHz})$ $\implies I^{\prime}_{rms}=0.5I_{rms}$ Thus, the rms current is reduced by a factor of $0.5$ (c) As $I^{\prime}_{rms}=\frac{I_{rms}}{2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I^{\prime}_{rms}=\frac{12.19A}{2}$ $I^{\prime}_{rms}=6.09A$
