Solution
50 Hz
The magnetic field energy in an inductor is given by,
`E = 1/2 Li^2`
The magnetic energy will be maximum when the current will reach its peak value, i0, and it will be minimum when the current will become zero.
v
From the above graph of alternating current, we can see that current reduces from maximum to zero in T/4 time, where T is the time period.
So, in this case, T/4 = 5 ms
⇒ T = 20 ms
∴ Frequency , `V =1/T = 1/(20xx10^-3)=50Hz`
