Please just solve for e and f and show all steps. Thank you!!! Physics II - X3B - Spring 2016 Offline Problem #7 Due Thursday, March 10, 6:30pm In the circuit shown in the figure, the resistors have resistances R.-R,-10 . the battery has a voltage 6 V, and the inductor is ideal (i.e., it has no internal resistance) with inductance L = 100 mH. The switch has been open for a long time and all currents are initially zero. At time-0 the switch is closed. A "skeleton circuit" showing junctions and loops is also shown below the figure. ho) E /

Explanation / Answer

a) Just after switch is closed, current through inductor will be zero.


so current will flow in left side loop only.

b) current through battery, i = E / (R + R) = 6/20 = 0.3 A

PD across inductor, V_L = iR = 0.3 x 10 = 3 Volts

e) Junction Rule equation,

i1 = i2 + iL


and loop rule equation,

e - R1i1 - R2i2 = 0


and in right side loop: R2 i2 - VL = 0

and V_L (t) = Ldi/dt

R2i2 - L (diL / dt) = 0


f) R1 = R2 = R

e - Ri1 - Ri2 = 0

R (i1 + i2) = e

i1 + i2 = e/R

and i1 = i2 + iL

so , i2 + iL + i2 = e/R

i2 = (e/R - iL )/2

putting in right loop side equation,

R(e/R - iL)/2   - L (diL / dt) = 0


L d (iL) / dt = e/2   - R iL/2

di / dt = - (R / 2L)i + (e/2) .......Ans


comparing with di/dt = - lambda i + B


lambda = R / 2L   and B = e/2
