A35Vbattery with negligible internal resistance, a50Ωresistor, and a1.25mHinductor with negligible resistance is all connected in series with an open switch. The switch is suddenly closed. (a) How long after closing the switch will the current through the inductor reach one-half of its maximum value? (b) How long after closing the switch will the energy stored in the inductor reach one-half of its maximum value?

Short Answer

a)t=1.73×10-5s

b)t=3.07×10-5s

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the time for one half current

In an LR circuit, the current increases by i=εR1-e-tτ, where τ=LR.

Given that L=1.25mH,R=50Ωand ε=35V.

For the current to be one half of the maximum value,i=imax2.

12×εR=εR1-e-tT12=1-e-tTe-tT=12

Take the natural logarithm on both the sides.

-tτ=ln12t=Lln2Rt=1.25×10-3×ln250t=1.73×10-5s

02

Calculate the time for half the maximum energy

For the energy to be one half of the maximum energy,

U=Umax212Li2=12Li2maxi=imax2

Now, from the relation of current and maximum current,

role="math" localid="1664252563069" 1-e-tT=12e-tT=1-12e-tT=0.2929

Taking the natural logarithm on both the sides,

t=L×ln0.2929Rt=1.25×10-3×ln0.292950t=3.07×10-5s

Electrons in an electric circuit pass through a resistor. The wire on either side of the resistor has the same diameter.(a) How does the drift speed of the electrons before entering the resistor compare to the speed after leaving the resistor? (b) How does the potential energy for an electron before entering the resistor compare to the potential energy after leaving the resistor? Explain your reasoning.

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.

A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?

A particle of mass 0.195 g carries a charge of-2.50×10-8C. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity that is due north and has magnitude4.00×104m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic field that will keepthe particle moving in the earth’s gravitational field in the samehorizontal, northward direction?

You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,

each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is gold, one

is copper, and one is aluminum. Refer to Table 25.1 for the resistivity

values. (a) What will be the length of each wire? (b) Gold has a density of1.93×10-4kgm3.

What will be the mass of the gold wire? If you consider the current price of gold, is

this wire very expensive?
