Question

In the circuit, with emf = 25 V, the battery and the inductor have no appreciable internal resistance and there is no current in the circuit. Assume that R = 14.5? and L = 12.0mH .

A) Immediately after the switch is closed, find the reading of the ammeter A.
I1 = ________ A

B) Immediately after the switch is closed, find the readings of the voltmeters (V1 and V2).
V1 = __________ V
V2 = __________ V

C) Find the readings of the voltmeters (V1 and V2) after the switch has been closed for a very long time.

D) Which answers in parts A, B, C and D would change if the inductance were 2.40

Explanation / Answer

a)

Immediately after switch is closed inductor acts as open circuit

I1=0 A

b)

Immediately after switch is closed inductor acts as open circuit

V1=0 V

V2=25 V

c)

After long time inductor acts as short circuit

V1=25 V

V2=0 V

d)

None of the answers would change
