Inductors & DC Transients (Mixed)

In the part of an a.c. circuit as shown, the resistance R=0.2 ΩR = 0.2\,\Omega. At a certain instant (VA−VB)=0.5 V, I=0.5 A(V_A - V_B) = 0.5\text{ V},\ I = 0.5\text{ A} and ΔIΔt=8 A/s\frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t} = 8\text{ A/s}. The inductance of the coil is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Across the series L-R part: VA−VB=IR+LΔIΔtV_A - V_B = IR + L\frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t}
  2. 0.5=(0.5)(0.2)+L(8)⇒8L=0.40.5 = (0.5)(0.2) + L(8) \Rightarrow 8L = 0.4
  3. L=0.05 HL = 0.05\text{ H}
  4. So the answer is (d) 0.05 H.
