Concept

The impedance of a series RL circuit is given by:

\(Z=R+jX_L\)

\(Z=R+jω L\)

The magnitude of the impedance is:

\(\left | Z \right |=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2}\)

Calculation

Given, R = 10 Ω and L = 0.056 H

f = 50 Hz

ω = 2πf = 314 radian

XL = ω × L

XL = 314 × 0.056 = 17.584 Ω 

\(\left | Z \right |=\sqrt{(10)^2+(17.584)^2}\)

\(\left | Z \right |=20.23\space \Omega\)
