    80 H

     

  • Option 2)

     0.08 H

     

  • Option 3)

     0.044 H

     

  • Option 4)

    0.065 H

X_{L} = (2\pi \times 50) L

= 100 \pi L.

I_{rms} = \frac{220}{100\pi L}

Power of lamp = 800 W.

\therefore (220) (\frac{220}{100\pi L}) = 800

L = \frac{121}{200\pi }


Option 1)

80 H

Option 3)

 0.044 H

 

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)
