Question

(a) If the switch is thrown to the left (connecting the battery), how much time elapses before the current reaches 220 mA?
_________ ms
(b) What is the current in the inductor 10.0 s after the switch is closed?
________ A
(c) Now the switch is quickly thrown from a to b. How much time elapses before the current falls to 160 mA?
_________ ms

A 140 mH inductor and a 4.60 (a) If the switch is thrown to the left (connecting the battery), how much time elapses before the current reaches 220 mA? _________ ms (b) What is the current in the inductor 10.0 s after the switch is closed? ________ A (c) Now the switch is quickly thrown from a to b. How much time elapses before the current falls to 160 mA? _________ ms Omega resistor are connected with a switch to a 6.00 V battery as shown in Figure P32.27.

Explanation / Answer

Part A)

Apply I = E/R(1 - e-Rt/L)

.220 = (6/4.6)(1 - e-4.6t/.140)

t = 5.62 ms

Part B)

I = E/R(1 - e-Rt/L)

I = (6/4.6)(1 - e-4.6(10)/(.140)

I = 1.30 Amps

Part C)

I = E/R(e-Rt/L)

.160 = (6/4.6)(e-4.6t/.140)

t = 63.9 ms
