A circuit has a voltage of 240 volts and an inductive reactance of 30 ohms what is the current flow?
A circuit with a voltage of 240 volts and an inductive reactance of 30 ohms would have a current of 8 amperes.
Reactance works just like resistance. The difference is that the phase angle between voltage and current is not zero, so the ratio of true power versus apparent power is not one.
Phase angle and power factor depend on frequency. This was not specified in the question, so it is not answered.
What else can I help you with?
Why is capacitive voltage higher than inductive voltage in an R-L-C circuit?
It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!
When a series circuit containing resistance and inductive reactance is connected to a ac supply the current will?
The load current will lag the supply voltage by an angle called a 'phase angle', determined by the values of resistance and inductive reactance. The magnitude of the load current will be determined by the impedance of the circuit, which is the vector sum of the resistance and inductive reactance.
What do you mean lagging in electrical?
Lagging means the current is out of phase, lagging behind, the voltage. This occurs when there is inductive reactance in the circuit, such as with motors and transformers.
Why is there a difference in current in a coil when you apply dc voltage and then AC voltage to it?
A coil has both resistance and inductance. When you apply a d.c. voltage, the opposition to current is the resistance of the coil. When you apply an a.c. voltage, the opposition to current is impedance -the vector-sum of the coil's resistance and its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the coil and the frequency of the supply.
What cause the voltage t lead current in an ac circuit?
Voltage leads current or, more specifically current lags voltage, in an inductive circuit. This is because an inductor resists a change in current.
Why is capacitive voltage higher than inductive voltage in an R-L-C circuit?
It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!

The load current will lag the supply voltage by an angle called a 'phase angle', determined by the values of resistance and inductive reactance. The magnitude of the load current will be determined by the impedance of the circuit, which is the vector sum of the resistance and inductive reactance.
What is difference in resistance and reactance?
Resistance is a concept used for DC. the current through a resistance is in phase with the applied voltage Reactance is used for AC the current through a inductive reactance lags the applied voltage by 90 degrees. the current through capacitive reactance leads the applied voltage by 90 degrees. the net reactance is the difference between inductive and capacitive reactance
Why at resonance the voltage drop across inductance and the voltage drop across capacitance is greater than the source voltage?
This isn't necessarily the case. It depends upon the value of resistance (which, at resonance, determines the current), and the values of the inductive- and capacitive-reactance.At resonance, the impedance of the circuit is equal to its resistance. This is because the vector sum of resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance, is equal the the resistance. This happens because, at resonance, the inductive- and capacitive-reactance are equal but opposite. Although they still actually exist, individually.If the resistance is low in comparison to the inductive and capacitive reactance, then the large current will cause a large voltage drop across the inductive reactance and a large voltage drop across the capacitive reactance. Because these two voltage drops are equal, but act the opposite sense to each other, the net reactive voltage drop is zero.So, at (series) resonance:a. the circuit's impedance is its resistance (Z = R)b. the current is maximumc. the voltage drop across the resistive component is equal to the supply voltaged. the voltage drop across the inductive-reactance component is the product of the supply current and the inductive reactancee. the voltage drop across the capacitive-reactance component is the product of the supply current and the capacitive reactancef. the voltage drop across both inductive- and capacitive-reactance is zero.
What do you mean lagging in electrical?
Lagging means the current is out of phase, lagging behind, the voltage. This occurs when there is inductive reactance in the circuit, such as with motors and transformers.
A circuit with a lagging current means the circuit is?
Inductive. Voltage (E) leads current (I) in an inductive (L) circuit and current (I) leads voltage (E) in a capacitive (C) circuit. (ELI the ICEman)
What is working principle of inductor?
A changing current through an inductor induces a voltage into the inductor, the direction of which always opposes the change in that current.So, in a d.c. circuit, an inductor will oppose (not prevent) any rise or fall in current, although the magnitude of that current will be determined by the resistance of that inductor, not by its inductance.In an a.c. circuit, because the current is continuously changing both in magnitude and in direction, it acts to continuously oppose the current due to its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the inductor and the frequency of the supply. The vector sum of the inductive reactance of the inductor and the resistance of the inductor, is termed the impedance of the inductor. Inductive reactance, resistance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.
Why is there a difference in current in a coil when you apply dc voltage and then AC voltage to it?
A coil has both resistance and inductance. When you apply a d.c. voltage, the opposition to current is the resistance of the coil. When you apply an a.c. voltage, the opposition to current is impedance -the vector-sum of the coil's resistance and its inductive reactance. Inductive reactance is proportional to the inductance of the coil and the frequency of the supply.
The ability of conductor to induce voltage in itself when the current changes?
The ability of conductor to induce voltage in itself when the current changes is called inductive reactance.
What is the relationship between voltage and current in an inductive circuit?
Current lags voltage in an inductive circuit. The angle by which it lags depends on the frequency of the AC, and on the relative size of the inductance compared to the resistance in the circuit.
What is the active power consumed by pure inductive reactance?
The active power of an inductor is zero. As we know, the active power is the result of product of supply voltage and in-phase component of load current. But the load current in pure inductive load lags supply voltage by 90 degrees. So there is no component of load current that is in-phase with the supply voltage. Therefore, the active power in inductive reactance is zero.
What is phase between voltage and current in a pure inductive circuit?
The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely inductive circuit, under ideal circumstances where there is no resistance at all, is 90 degrees.
