A circuit of resistance R ohms and inductance L henries has a direct voltage of 230 V applied to it. 0.3 second second after switching on, the current in the circuit was found to be 5 A. After the current had reached its final steady value, the circuit was suddenly short-circuited. The current was again found to be 5 A at 0.3 second second after short-circuiting the coil. Find the value of R and L. |

Answer» For growth ; 5 = Im (1 −e −0.3/λ) ...(i) For decay; 5 = Im e −0.3/λ Equating the two, we get, Ime −0.3/λ = (1 −e− 0.3/λ)Im or 2e−0.3/λ = 1 ∴ e −0.3/λ = 0.5 or λ = 0.4328 Putting this value in (i), we get, 5 = Im = e 0.3/0.4328 or Im = 5 e + 0.3/0.4328 = 5 × 2 = 10 A. Now, Im = V/R ∴ 10 = 230/R or R = 230/10 = 23 Ω (approx.) As λ = L/R = 0.4328 ; L = 0.4328 × 23 = 9.95 H |
