In the circuit shown in Fig. P30.61, E = 60.0 V,R1 = 40.0 Ω, R2 = 25.0 Ω, and L = 0.300 H. (a) Switch S is closed. At some time t afterward, the current in the inductor is increasing at a rate of di>dt = 50.0 A>s. At this instant, what are the current i1 through R1 and the current i2 through R2 ? (Hint:Analyze two separate loops: one containing E and R1 and the other containing E, R2 , and L.) (b) After the switch has been closed a long time, it is opened again. Just after it is opened, what is the current through R1 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The current throughR1andR2is role="math" localid="1664255907064" i1=1.5Aandi2=1.8Arespectively.
  2. The current through R1andR2is i1=i2=2.4A.

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts and Formula

Ohm’s law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant

V=IR

According to Kirchhoff’s Lawthe sum of the voltages around the closed loop is equal to null.

∑V=0

02

Voltage drop and Krichhoff’s Law

The voltage drop across the inductor is given by

VL=Ldidt

Input the values here to get VL

VL=0.3H50A/sVL=15V

Apply Kirchhoff’s Loop rule to get the voltage drop across the resistance

VR=ε-VLVR=60V-15VVR=45V

Now apply Ohm’s law to get i1

i1=εR1i1=60V40Ω=1.5A

And we geti2

i2=VLR2i1=45V25Ω=1.8A

The current through R1andR2is i1=1.5Aand i2=1.8Arespectively.

03

When the switch is open for a long time

When the switch is closed for long time the current passes throughR2and the inductor blocks the current. So,i2will be

i2=εR1i2=60V25Ω=2.4A

And after the switch is open , current flows throughR1will be same ofi2

i1=i2=2.4A

Hence The current through R1andR2is i1=i2=2.4A.

Most popular questions from this chapter

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.41, both capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V. (a) How long after closing the switch S will the potential across each capacitor be reduced to 10.0 V, and (b) what will be the current at that time?

Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?

Question: A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

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.

The power rating of a light bulb (such as a 100-W bulb) is the power it dissipates when connected across a 120-V potential difference. What is the resistance of (a) a 100-W bulb and (b) a 60-W bulb? (c) How much current does each bulb draw in normal use?
