Determine the total inductance and the circuit current of a 4-H inductor and a 6-H inductor series connected to a 400-Hz, 80-V supply. also determine the voltage across the 4-H inductor.

If you have two inductors in series the total inductance is the sum of each of the inductors value. In your case is 6+4=10 H.

The impedance of the total inductance is:

XL=2*pi*f*L=2*pi*400*10=25.1K

Thus the current flowing will be:

I=V/XL=80/25.1K=3.2mA

The voltage across the 4H inductor:

XL4=2*pi*f*L=10K

thus

VL4=XL4*I=32V
