Combination of Inductors, LR & LC Circuits

A shown in the figure, a battery of emf ε\varepsilon is connected to an inductor L and resistance R in series. The switch is closed at t = 0. The total charge that flows from the battery, between t = 0 and t = tc (tc is the time constant of the circuit) is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Growth of current: i=εR(1−e−t/τ)i = \frac{\varepsilon}{R}\left(1 - e^{-t/\tau}\right), τ=L/R\tau = L/R.
  2. q=∫0τi dt=εR[t+τe−t/τ]0τ=εR(τ+τe−τ)q = \int_0^{\tau} i\,dt = \frac{\varepsilon}{R}\left[t + \tau e^{-t/\tau}\right]_0^{\tau} = \frac{\varepsilon}{R}\left(\tau + \frac{\tau}{e} - \tau\right)
  3. q=ετeR=εLeR2q = \frac{\varepsilon\tau}{eR} = \frac{\varepsilon L}{eR^2}
  4. So the answer is (a).
