A coil of 0.01H inductance and 1Ω resistance is connected to 200 V, 50Hz AC supply. Find the impedance of the circuit and the time lag between maximum alternating voltage and current.

Hint: The time lag between the maximum alternating voltage and current depends on the angular frequency and phase angle.
Step 1: Given,inductanceL=0.01H
resistanceR=1Ω,voltage(V)=200V
andfrequency(f)=50Hz.
Impedanceofthecircuit,Z=R2+XL2=R2+2πfL2
=12+(2×3.14×50×0.01)2
orZ=10.86=3.3Ω
Step 2: tanϕ=ωLR=2πfLR=2×3.14×50×0.011=3.14
ϕ=tan-1(3.14)72°
Phasedifference,ϕ=72×π180rad
Step 3: Timelagbetweenalternatingvoltageandcurrent:
t=ϕω=72π180×2π×50=1250sec
