Question

1) The current in a circuit changes from 24A to 0A in 3.0x10-3seconds. If the average induced emf is 260V, what is the self-inductance of the circuit? How much energy was initially stored in the coil?

2) A 5x10-6F capacitor is charged to a 20x103V potential. After being disconnected from the power source, it is connected across a 7x106ohm resistor to discharge. What is the initial discharge current and how long does it take for the capacitor voltage to decrease to 37% of the 20x103V?

3) A circuit has a resistance of 11ohms, a coil of inductive reactace 120ohms, and a capacitor with 120ohm reactance Calculate the voltage (rms value) across each element.

Explanation / Answer


induced emf = L*(di/dt)

260 = L*(24/(3*10^-3))

L = 0.0325 H

(2)


initial currrent I = V/R = (20*10^3)/(7*10^6) = 0.00286 A


volatage decreases as = v = V*e^-t/RC)


v = 0.37 V


0.37 = e^-(t/(7*10^6*5*10^-6))


t = 34.8 s <<-------answer
