This is fun! So you got me, I said impedance when I should have said reactance. So what is the impedance of an ideal inductor I wonder? Oh,that's right, the impedance of an ideal inductor is equal to its reactance.So would you be so kind as to calculate the impedance of a 10H choke with 50 ohms DC resistance? R theta form will be fine, or real and imaginary components, your choice. Now that you've done that, compare it to the 7.5K that is calculated using ideal inductance values.
Seems like just guesstimating was fine and dandy. Something about orders of magnitude.
Sorry I didn't show my work.
So where did you get your electrical engineering degree?
