Question

In the figure below, R1 = 8.4 ?, R2 = 11 ?, L1 = 0.29 H, L2 = 0.17 H, and the ideal battery has ? = 6.2 V.

(a) Just after switch S is closed, at what rate is the current in inductor 1 changing?

(b) When the circuit is in the steady state, what is the current in inductor 1?

Explanation / Answer

just after switch is closed,inductor offers infinite resistance for flow of current they can be considered open circuited => no current passes in the circuit => potential difference across L1 = 6.2V di/dt = V/L = 21.37 A/s b) in steady state,inductors can be taken to be short circiuted therefore current through the circuit i = 6.2/8.4 = 0.73 Amp => current through L1 = 0.73 Amp
