Self-Inductance & Energy

A coil of inductance 2 H having negligible resistance is connected to a source of supply whose voltage is given by V = 3t volt. (where t is in second). If the voltage is applied when t = 0, then the energy stored in the coil after 4 s is _______J.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 144

  1. With no resistance V=LdIdtV = L\dfrac{dI}{dt}, so dIdt=3t2\dfrac{dI}{dt} = \dfrac{3t}{2}.
  2. I=∫0t3t2 dt=3t24I = \displaystyle\int_0^t \dfrac{3t}{2}\,dt = \dfrac{3t^2}{4}; at t=4t = 4 s, I=12I = 12 A.
  3. U=12LI2=12×2×144=144U = \dfrac{1}{2}LI^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 2 \times 144 = 144 J
  4. So the energy stored is 144144 J.
