Inductors & DC Transients (Mixed)
In a circuit inductance and capacitance are connected as shown in figure. and are ammeters. When key is pressed to complete the circuit, then just after closing key , the reading of current will be
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Just after closing, an uncharged capacitor acts like a short circuit, so the - branch carries its maximum current .
- An inductor opposes any sudden change, so the current in the - branch is zero at that instant.
- So the answer is (d) maximum in and zero in .
