There is an ideal inductor which when connected to 100 V - 50 Hz supply draws a current of 8A. There is an ideal resistor which when connected to 100 V - 50 Hz supply draws a current of 10 A . What current will flow in the circuit when the above described inductor and resistor are connected in series to a supply of 100 V -40 Hz ?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the Inductive Reactance (XL) of the Inductor
Given that the inductor draws a current of 8 A when connected to a 100 V, 50 Hz supply, we can use Ohm's law for AC circuits:

\[ I = \frac{V}{X_L} \]
