Solution:

Ans. Expression for current 3

Proof 2

(i) If an alternating voltage V=V0sinωt is applied across pure inductor of inductance L, then the magnitude of induced emf will be equal to applied voltage,

E=LdIdt

For the circuit, magnitude of induced emf

= applied voltage

LdIdt=V0sinωt dI=V0Lsinωtdt

Integrating both the sides, we get

I=V0Lsinωtdt=V0L(cosωtω) I=V0ωLcosωt=V0ωLsin(π2ωt) I=V0XLsin(ωtπ2) if XL=ωL I=I0sin(ωtπ2)

(ii) The average power supplied by the source over a complete cycle is

Pav=ErmsIrmscosϕ

When the circuit carries an ideal inductor, then the phase difference between the current and voltage is π2

In case of pure inductive circuit,

ϕ=π2  But cosπ2=0

So power dissipated =0

Hence, when an ac source is connected to an ideal inductor, the average power supplied by the source over a complete cycle is zero.
