An RLC series circuit is powered by a 120-V, 60-Hz supply. It contains an inductor that has an inductive reactance of 50 Ω and a wire resistance of 10 Ω . What is the inductance of the inductor?

A) 0.0265 H
B) 0.133 H
C) 0.259 H
D) 0.335 H

Inductive Reactance

A measure of the opposition by an inductor to changes in current, dependent on frequency.

Inductance

A property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current in the conductor induces an electromotive force in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance.
