A 20 H inductor coil is connected to a 10 Ω resistance in series as shown in figure. The time at which rate of dissipation of energy (Joule's heat) across resistance is equal to the rate at which magnetic energy is stored in the inductor, is:
  1. 1 2 ln2
  2. 2ln2
  3. 2 ln2
  4. ln2

Solution

Rate of dissipation of energy in resistor =i2R
Rate of energy stored in inductor =ddt12Li2=Lididt
i2R=Lididt
didt=iRL      i
In L-R  circuit:

i=i01-e-tτ              ( τ=LR=2)
didt=i0τe-t/τ
From equation (i),

i0τe-t/τ=i01-e-tτRL
e-t/τ=1-e-t/τ
e-tτ=12  t=τ ln2
=2 ln2
