Self-Inductance & Energy

The current II in an A.C. circuit with inductance coil varies with time according to the graph given below.

Figure

Which one of the following graphs gives the variation of voltage with time?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

VtI risingI falling
  1. Voltage across the inductor V=L dIdtV = L\,\dfrac{dI}{dt}.
  2. Rising part: constant positive slope, so VV is a constant positive value.
  3. Falling part: constant negative slope, so VV is a constant negative value.
  4. So VV vs tt is a rectangular (square) pulse: positive then negative. None of the given graphs shows this; the key gives (b).
