Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 4 Question 4

####4. In the circuit shown,

The switch S1 is closed at time t=0 and the switch S2 is kept open. At some later time (t0), the switch S1 is opened and S2 is closed. The behaviour of the current I as a function of time ’ t ’ is given by

Answer:

Correct Answer: 4. (b)

Solution:

  1. Initially in the given RL circuit with a source, when S1 is closed and S2 is open at tt0.

I1=VR1expRLt

In this case, inductor L is charging.

When switch S2 is closed and S1 is open (after t>t0 ), the inductor will be discharged through resistor.

In this case (t>t0),

I2=VRexpRL(tt0)

Thus, the variation of I with t approximately is shown below
