Actually I should have checked, with version 8 Solve can handle
inequalities so either Reduce or Solve works here.
$Assumptions = rfe > 0 && l > 0;
r = 1;
\[Omega] = 300;
vrms = 2;
irms = 1/2;
\[Phi] = 30 Degree;
impedance = r + 1/(1/rfe + 1/(I \[Omega] l)) // FullSimplify;
voltage = vrms (Cos[\[Phi]] + I Sin[\[Phi]]) // Simplify;
Solve[{irms == voltage/impedance, $Assumptions}, {rfe,
l}][[1]] // FullSimplify
{rfe -> (1/11)*(-7 + 30*Sqrt[3]), l -> (1/600)*(17 - 4*Sqrt[3])}
Alternatively,
Solve[{irms == voltage/impedance, Im[l] == 0, Im[rfe] == 0}, {rfe,
l}][[1]] // FullSimplify
{rfe -> (1/11)*(-7 + 30*Sqrt[3]), l -> (1/600)*(17 - 4*Sqrt[3])}
