Question
**Circuit Analysis Problem**

**Question**: Given the circuit in Figure 16-5, what is the RMS current through the inductor?

**Circuit Description**:
- The circuit features an AC voltage source with a voltage of 600 Vrms (root mean square voltage).
- The inductive reactance (\(X_L\)) is 300 Ω.
- A resistor (\(R\)) is in the circuit with a resistance of 600 Ω.

**Diagram Explanation**:
- The diagram depicts a series circuit configuration.
- It includes an AC voltage source labeled \(V_s = 600 \text{ Vrms}\).
- An inductor with inductive reactance \(X_L = 300 \, \Omega\).
- A resistor with \(R = 600 \, \Omega\).

**Answer Options**:
- 2.00 A
- 3 A
- **4.69 mA** (Correct)
- 5 A

**Explanation**:
The problem requires calculating the total impedance of the circuit and then using Ohm’s Law (\(I = \frac{V}{Z}\)) to find the RMS current through the inductor. The impedance in a series RL circuit is calculated using \(Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}\). The correct RMS current would then be the result of the division of the Vrms by this total impedance.
