Understanding the concept of inductive reactance and Ohm’s law

The obstruction offered in the path of alternating current by the inductor is called inductive reactance. Using the value of emf and current in the given problem. These values are maximum when the sine term has a value of unity. Using this, we find the time when the generator emf first reaches its maximum and the current first reaches maximum. By identifying the phase angle of current and emf, we can find the element of the circuit other than the generator. Using the relation of current amplitude and voltage amplitude, we can find the inductance of the inductor.

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

VL=ILXL (i)

The inductive reactance of the inductor,

XL=Ó¬dL (ii)

Here,L is the inductance,IL is the current flowing through the inductor,Ó¬dis the driving angular frequency.

a) Calculation of the time when the emf reaches maximum

The generator emf is given as follows:

ε=εmsinӬdt-π4rad

The emf is maximum when

sinӬdt-π4rad=1Ӭdt-π4rad=π2±2nπrad

This will be maximum when n=0for the first time. Thus, the above value becomes

Ӭdt-π4rad=π2rad±20πӬdt-π4rad=π2radӬdt=3π4rad

The above equation can also be written as-

t=3π4rad×1Ӭd=3π4rad×1350rad/s=6.73×10-3s

Hence, the emf is maximum when time is 6.73×10-3s.

04

b) Calculation of the time when the current first reaches a maximum

The alternating current is given as:

it=IsinÓ¬dt-3Ï€4rad

The current is maximum when

sinӬdt-3π4rad=1Ӭdt-3π4rad=π2±2nπrad

This will be maximum whenn=0for the first time. Thus, the above value becomes

localid="1664186765125" Ӭdt-3π4rad=π2rad±20πӬdt-3π4rad=π2radӬdt=5π4rad

The above equation can also be written as-

localid="1664186770953" t=5π4rad×1Ӭd=5π4rad×1350rad/s=1.12×10-2s

Hence, the value of the time is localid="1664186725589" 1.12×10-2s.

05

c) Calculation of the element contained in the circuit

According to the given information, it is clear that current is lagging behind emf by a phase angle π2rad. Thus, the circuit is purely inductive and the component connected is a inductor.

06

d) Calculation of the value of inductance

For the pure inductive circuit,VL=εm

Thus, the value of the inductance is given using equation (ii) in equation (i) as follws:

IL=εmӬdLL=εmӬdIL=30V620×10-3A350rads=0.138 H

Hence, the value of the inductance is 0.138H.
