Question
In the figure below, a 9.94 V ideal battery, a 23.4 ? resistor, and an inductor are connected by a switch at time t = 0. At what rate is the battery transferring energy to the inductor's field at t = 1.90?L?
Please show work and type out your answer.
Explanation / Answer
P = L i (di/dt)
P = L {(V/R) (1 - e^(-tR/L))} {(V/L) (e^(-tR/L))}
P = (V^2/R) e^(-tR/L) (1 - e^(-tR/L))
P = (9.94*9.94/23.4) * e^(-1.90) * (1 - e^(-1.90))
P = 0.537 Watt
