Understanding the concept of a purely inductive circuit

An electrical circuit made by connecting an inductor only is called a purely inductive circuit. We use the condition of the purely inductive circuit, and substituting the value of inductive reactance, we get the maximum current value. When the current is maximum, its first derivative is zero. Using this idea, we can find the emf of the generator.

The voltage equation of an inductor due to Ohm’s law,

VL=lLXL.......(i)

The emf equation due to the current change in the inductor,

εL=-Ldidt.........(ii)

The current equation for sinusoidal varying current,

iL(t)=lLsin(Ó¬dt-Ï•)........(iii)

The inductive reactance of the inductor,

XL=Ó¬dL..........(iv)

Here, Lis the inductance, lLis the current flowing through the inductor, Ӭdis the driving angular frequency, andϕis the phase constant of the current.

a) Calculation of the maximum current

For a pure inductive circuit, the potential difference VLacross the inductor is always equal to the emf.

εm=VL.....(a)

Thus, using equation (a) and equation (iv) in equation (i), we get the maximum current value as:

role="math" localid="1663224542349" lL=εmӬDLlL=25.0V377rads12.7HlL=5.22×10-3A

Hence, the value of the current is 5.22×10-3A.

04

b) Calculation of the emf of the generator when current is maximum

iLtIf the current in a coil changes with time, an emf is induced in the coil. When the current is maximum, its first derivative is zero.

didt=0

Using equation (ii), this implies εL=0

In another way, in an ac circuit with pure inductive load, the alternating current iLtin the inductance lags the alternating potential difference εtby 90°.

Thus, using this value in equation (iii), we get the equation of current and emf as:

role="math" localid="1663224779750" iLt=lLsinӬdt-π2...........aεLt=εmsinӬdt

From the above two relations, we can say that when the current is at its maximum, the alternating emf is zero.

05

c) Calculation of the current when emf of the generator is -12.5 V

The Emf value, in this case, is exactly half the previous value and negative.

ε=-εm2

And it is increasing in magnitude. Since it already has a negative sign, thus increase in its magnitude results in a more negative value.

εLt=εmsinӬdt

Taking the first derivative oftheabove relation, we get the emf equation as:

ddtεLt=ddtεmsinӬdtddtεLt=ӬdεmcosӬdt

And this result should be negative. To get the negative value, cosÓ¬dtmust be negative. That implies:

Ӭdt=2nπ-5π6Ӭdt<0

Substituting this value in the alternating current of equation (iii), we get the current equation as:

iLt=lLsinӬdt-π2iLt=lLsin2nπ-5π6-π2iLt=lLsin2nπ-4π3...................v

sin2nÏ€-4Ï€3=sin2nÏ€³¦´Ç²õ4Ï€3-cos2²ÔÏ€²õ¾±²Ô4Ï€3

As, sin2nπ=0and cos2nπ=1, we get

sin2nπ-4π3=sin4π3sin2nπ-4π3=-32

Thus, using these above values, equations (v) become:

iLt=lL32iLt=5.22×10-3A32iLt=4.51×10-3A

Hence, the value of the current is 4.51×10-3A.
