a. The inductance of an air-core coil is 0.08 H, and the effective resistance is 4 Ω when a 60 V, 50 Hz source is connected across the coil. Find the current passing through the coil and the reading of a wattmeter across the coil.


b. If a brass core is inserted in the coil, the effective resistance increases to 7 Ω, and the wattmeter reads 30 W. Find the current passing through the coil and the inductance of the coil.


c. If a solid iron core is inserted in the coil, the effective resistance of the coil increases to 10 Ω, and the current decreases to 1.7 A. Find the wattmeter reading and the inductance of the coil.
