The correct answer is:
0.065 H
Given that the lamp draws a current of upon a D.C. supply, the resistance is,
When connected to an AC supply with an inductor in series, as shown in the figure above, the current,
and the voltage drop over the lamp is and over the inductance.
Applying the rules of circuit,
V
The Inductive reactance of the given inductor of inductance , for the frequency of supply ,
The voltage drop across the inductance,
Substituting values in equation
