PHASE RELATION IN A PURE INDUCTOR

When a sinusoidal voltage is applied across a inductor, a certain amount of sine wave current passes through it. In a pure inductor the voltage and current are out of phase. The current lags behind the voltage by 90°.



where

Vm = ωLIm

= XL Im

Impedance Z = 



Z = j XL

Where XL - Inductive reactance

Example : 10

An inductive coil has negligible resistance an inductance of 0.1H. It is connected across a 220V, 50Hz supply. Find the current and power. Also write the expression for instantaneous applied voltage and current.

L = 0.1 H

V = Vrms = 220V

f = 50 Hz

Current I =  

= 7A

Average power = VI cos ϕ

= VI cos 90°

= 0

Instantaneous voltage

V = Vm sin ωt

= √2×220

= 311 V

ω = 2πf

= 2×π×50

= 314 r/s

V = 311 sin 314 t

Instantaneous current

i = Im sin (ωt - π/2)


= 9.9 A

i = 9.9 sin (314t - π/2)
