The network shown in the figure is part of complete circuit. If at a certain instant the current $i$ is $5 \mathrm{~A}$ and is decreasing at the rate of $10^3 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s}$, then $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}$ is
  1. 15V
  2. 10V
  3. 5V
  4. 20V

Solution

Consider the diagram below: Given, $=5 \mathrm{~A}, \mathrm{R}=1 \Omega, \mathrm{L}=5 \mathrm{mH}, \frac{\mathrm{di}}{\mathrm{dt}}=10^3 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s}$ $\begin{aligned} & V_A-i R+E-L\left(\frac{d i}{d t}\right)=V_B \\ & \Rightarrow V_A-V_B=\left(i R+L\left(\frac{d i}{d t}\right)-E\right) \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}=5 \mathrm{~A} \times 1 \Omega+5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{H} \times 10^{-3} \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{s}}-15 \mathrm{~V} \\ & \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{B}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}=-(5+5-15) \mathrm{V}=5 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}$ ~
