Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (d)

Solution:

  1. Key Idea In an LR circuit, current during charging of inductor is given by

i=i0(1eRLt)

where, i0= saturation current.

In given circuit,

Inductance of circuit is

L=10mH=10×103H

Resistance of circuit is

R=(Rs+r)=0.1+0.9=1Ω

RS=0.1Ω

Now, from

 Given, i=i0(1eRLt)i=80i=80i0100=0.8i0

Substituting the value of i in Eq. (i), we get

0.8=1eRLteRLt=0.2eRLt=5 ln(e)RLt=ln5RLt=ln5 t=LRln(5)=10×1031×ln(5) =10×103×1.6 =1.6×102 s=0.016 s
