(a) when the current reaches its maximum value
J

(b) one time constant after the switch is closed
J

Homework Answers

Answer #1

The Inductor behaves as open for a sudden change in current, hence it acts as "open" when t=0+ or just after closing the switch.

The Inductor behaves as "Short" when t=∞ .

a) When Inductor becomes short in RL circuit, The current will be maximum and will be equal to V/R, i.e., at t=∞;

The energy stored in an inductor when current reaches maximum is E= (1/2) L i2

i= V/R = 24/11 = 2.181 A

E = (1/2) x 10 x(2.181)2 =23.783 jouls

b) time constant , τ = L/R = 10/11 = 0.909

Hence the velue of current after one time constant will be

i = (Ifinal-Iinitial)(e-(t/τ))

i = (2.181-0) (1-e-1) = 1.378 A

Energy stored in inductor after one time constant = E= (1/2) L i2

E = (1/2) x10x(1.378)2 = 9.4944 jouls
