Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 4 Question 15

####15. A uniformly wound solenoidal coil of self-inductance 1.8×104H and resistance 6Ω is broken up into two identical coils. These identical coils are then connected in parallel across a 15 V battery of negligible resistance. The time constant for the current in the circuit is …… s and the steady state current through the battery is … A. (1989, 2M)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 15. 3×105,10

Solution:

  1. Inductance of the circuit L=0.9×1042=0.45×104H (in parallel)

Resistance of the circuit R=3/2=1.5Ω (in parallel)

τL( time constant )=LR=3.0×105 s

Steady state current in the circuit through the battery

i0=VR=151.5=10 A
