When 100 volt dc is applied across a coil, a current of 1A flows through it. When 100 volt ac at $50 cycle s^{-1} $ is applied to the same coil, only 0.5 A current flows. The impedance of the coil is,
When 100V DC is applied, the resistance (R) of the coil can be found using Ohm's Law: $$ R = rac{V}{I} = rac{100V}{1A} = 100 ext{ ohms} $$ When 100V AC is applied, the current is 0.5A. The impedance (Z) can be found using the same formula: $$ Z = rac{V}{I} = rac{100V}{0.5A} = 200 ext{ ohms} $$ Therefore, the impedance of the coil is 200 ohms.
