Question

Put a 10 V battery with a 10 ? internal resistance in series with a switch: hook this up to a 100 ? resistor in parallel with a 2 H inductor. Assume that the inductor itself is made of superconducting wire so has no resistance of its own. Start with the switch closed for a long time so steady currents exist in the circuit.

Find the battery current, the current in the 100 ? resistor, and the current in the inductor.

Find the initial voltage across the inductor when the switch is opened.

What's the current in the inductor as a function of time t from when you open the switch?

Explanation / Answer

a)

inductor acts as short circuit ,so

I=10/10=1 A

I (100) =0 A

IL =10/10 =0.1 A

b)

V=100*1 =100 V

c)

T=L/R =2/10 =0.2 s

IL =1e^(-t/0.2)

IL =e^(-5t)
