Inductors & DC Transients (Mixed)

The current (I)(I) in the inductance is varying with time according to the plot shown in figure.

Figure

Which one of the following is the correct variation of voltage with time in the coil?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Voltage across the coil V=LdIdtV = L\frac{dI}{dt}, i.e. L×L \times slope of the II-tt graph.
  2. From 0 to T/2T/2 the slope is constant and positive, so VV is a constant positive value.
  3. From T/2T/2 to TT the slope is constant and negative (same size), so VV is the same constant value with negative sign.
  4. So the answer is (d), the square wave.
