A source of constant voltage is connected to a resistance and two ideal inductors and through a switch as shown. There is no mutual inductance between the two inductors. The switch is initially open. At , the switch is closed and current begins to flow. Which of the following options is/are correct?
A source of constant voltage V is connected to a resistance R and two ideal inductors L 1 and L 2 through a…
- The ratio of the currents through and is fixed at all times
- After a long time, the current through will be
- After a long time, the current through will be
- At , the current through the resistance R is
Solution
As and are in parallel so equivalent
inductance,
Here, and are the inductance (shown in circuit)
The current through the series circuit at anytime is given as
At ,
After a longtime i.e. at
Let currents through and are and respectively. As and are joined in parallel
Voltage across Voltage across
Thus,
By current division rule,
Current across is
Current across is
