A coil of inductance \(300 \mathrm{mH}\) and resistance \(2 \Omega\) is connected to a source of voltage \(2 \mathrm{~V}\). The current reaches half of its steady state value in (A) \(0.1 \mathrm{~s}\) (B) \(0.05 \mathrm{~s}\) (C) \(0.3 \mathrm{~s}\) (D) \(0.15 \mathrm{~s}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The time for the current to reach half of its steady-state value in the given inductive circuit is approximately \(0.1 \mathrm{~s}\), which corresponds to answer (A).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the given values and formula for the current in an inductive circuit

We are given the inductance (L) as \(300 \mathrm{mH}\), the resistance (R) as \(2 \Omega\), and the voltage (V) as \(2 \mathrm{V}\). We will use the formula for the current in an inductive circuit, which is: \[i(t) = \frac{V}{R}(1 - e^{-\frac{tR}{L}})\] where i(t) is the current at time t, V is the voltage, R is the resistance, L is the inductance, and e is Euler's number (approximately 2.718).
02

Calculate the time constant

The time constant (Ï„) for an inductive circuit is the ratio of the inductance (L) and the resistance (R): \[\tau = \frac{L}{R}\] We can plug in the given values and find the time constant: \[\tau = \frac{300 \times 10^{-3} \; \mathrm{H}}{2 \; \mathrm{\Omega}} = 0.15 \; \mathrm{s}\]
03

Set the current to half of its steady-state value and solve for the time

We know that the steady-state current value is \(\frac{V}{R}\). We want to find the time it takes for the current to reach half of this value: \[\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{V}{R}\right) = \frac{V}{R}(1 - e^{-\frac{tR}{L}})\] Now, we can divide both sides by \(\frac{V}{R}\) and simplify: \[\frac{1}{2} = 1 - e^{-\frac{tR}{L}}\] We can now work to isolate the exponent: \[e^{-\frac{tR}{L}} = \frac{1}{2}\] We can then take the natural logarithm of both sides: \[-\frac{tR}{L} = \ln\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\] Now, we can solve for t: \[t = -\frac{L \ln\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}{R}\]
04

Plug in the values and find the time

Using the given values for L and R, we can calculate the time it takes for the current to reach half of its steady-state value: \[t = -\frac{300 \times 10^{-3} \; \mathrm{H} \times \ln\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}{2 \; \mathrm{\Omega}}\] This simplifies to: \[t = \frac{0.3 \times \ln\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}{-2} = 0.104 \; \mathrm{s}\] The time for the current to reach half of its steady-state value is approximately \(0.1 \mathrm{~s}\), which corresponds to answer (A).

A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic lines of force. When a current is passed through the coil, it starts oscillating; it is very difficult to stop. But if an aluminium plate is placed near to the coil, it stops. This is due to (A) development of air current when the plate is placed. (B) induction of electrical charge on the plate. (C) shielding of magnetic lines of force as aluminium is a paramagnetic material. (D) electromagnetic induction in the aluminium plate giving rise to electromagnetic damping.

A horizontal telegraph wire \(0.5 \mathrm{~km}\) long running east and west is a part of a circuit whose resistance is \(2.5 \Omega\). The wire falls to the ground from a height of \(5 \mathrm{~m}\). If \(g=10.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) and horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is \(2 \times 10^{-5}\) weber \(/ \mathrm{m}^{2}\), then the current induced in the circuit just before the wire hits the ground will be (A) \(0.7 \mathrm{~A}\) (B) \(0.04 \mathrm{~A}\) (C) \(0.02 \mathrm{~A}\) (D) \(0.01 \mathrm{~A}\)

In a LCR circuit, capacitance is changed from \(\mathrm{C}\) to \(2 \mathrm{C}\), For the resonant frequency to remain unchanged, the inductance should be changed from \(L\) to (A) \(\mathrm{L} / 2\) (B) \(2 \mathrm{~L}\) (C) \(4 \mathrm{~L}\) (D) \(\underline{L} / 4\)

A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of induction \(B\) tesla with its plane normal to the field. Now the radius of the loop starts shrinking at the rate \((d r / d t)\). Then the induced EMF at the instant when the radius is \(r\) will be (A) \(\pi r B\left(\frac{d r}{d t}\right)\) (B) \(2 \pi r B\left(\frac{d r}{d t}\right)\) (C) \(\pi r^{2}\left(\frac{d B}{d t}\right)\) (D) \(B \frac{\pi r^{2}}{2} \frac{d r}{d t}\)

If the flux of magnetic induction through a coil of resistance \(R\) and having \(n\) turns changes from \(\phi_{1}\) to \(\phi_{2}\), then the magnitude of the charge that passes through the coil is (A) \(\frac{\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}{R}\) (B) \(\frac{n\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}{R}\) (C) \(\frac{\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}{n R}\) (D) \(\frac{n R}{\left(\phi_{2}-\phi_{1}\right)}\)
