Combination of Inductors, LR & LC Circuits

Two inductors, L1L_1 and L2L_2 are connected in parallel and a time varying current flows as shown in the figure. The ratio of currents I2I1\frac{I_2}{I_1} at any time, it is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. In parallel both inductors have the same voltage: L1dI1dt=L2dI2dtL_1\frac{dI_1}{dt} = L_2\frac{dI_2}{dt}
  2. Integrating from zero current: L1I1=L2I2L_1 I_1 = L_2 I_2
  3. I2I1=L1L2\frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{L_1}{L_2}
  4. So the answer is (b).
