Answer:
The equation of current is [tex]I=0.86 cos \left (120 t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right )[/tex]
Explanation:
Resistance, R = 12 ohm
Inductance, L = 0.06 H
E (t) = 12 cos (120 t)
Compare with the standard equation,
[tex]E=E_{0}cos (2\pi ft)[/tex]
[tex]2\pi ft = 120 t \\\\\\w = 2\pi f = 120 rad/s[/tex]
So, the inductive reactance is
XL = w L = 120 x 0.06 = 7.2 ohm
The impedance of the circuit is
[tex]Z =\sqrt{12^2+7.2^2}\\\\Z = 14 ohm[/tex]
The current leads by 90degree so the equation of current is
[tex]I=\frac{Eo}{Z} cos \left (120 t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right )\\\\I=\frac{12}{14} cos \left (120 t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right )\\\\I=0.86 cos \left (120 t + \frac{\pi}{2} \right )[/tex]
