Answer

$5.22\times10^{-2}H$

Work Step by Step

Start with equation 21–11b, which gives the reactance of an inductor. $$X_L=2 \pi f L$$ Find the current using Ohm’s Law. $$I=\frac{V}{X_L}=\frac{V}{2 \pi f L }$$ Now, solve for the inductance. $$L=\frac{V}{2 \pi f I}$$ $$=\frac{240V}{2 \pi (60.0Hz)(12.2A)}=5.22\times10^{-2}H$$
