Question

In the circuit shown in the figure , EMF = 60.0 V, R1 = 36.0 %u03A9, R2 = 25.0 %u03A9, and L = 0.310 H. Switch S is closed at t=0.Just after the switch is closed, what is the potential difference v_{ab} across the resistor R1?



Which point, a or b, is at a higher potential?

What is the potential difference vcd across the inductor L?

Which point, c or d, is at a higher potential?

The switch is left closed a long time and then opened. Just after the switch is opened, what is the potential difference vab across the resistor R1?

Which point, a or b, is at a higher potential?

What is the potential difference vcd across the inductor L?

Explanation / Answer

1)


Just after the switch is closed , the series connection of the c=inductor and R2 acts as open circuit , so only R1 comes into the connection, to emf


So, Vab = emf = 60 V <--------------answer


2)

a is at higher potential than b


3)

potential difference across inductor = 60 V


4)

c is at higher potential


5)

after a long time, the series circuit of inductor and R2 comes into picture,

So, after a LONG TIME, R1 and R2 are in parallel,


So, potential across R1 = EMF = 60 V


6)

a is at higher potential than b


7)

potential differecnce across inductor = 0 <---as it gets shorted(current is constant)
