Chapter 6 Problem 6.3.107

Question

Current in a RL Circuit The equation governing the amount of current 1 (in amperes) after time / (in seconds) in a single RL circuit consisting of a resistance R (in ohms), an inductance L (in henrys), and an electromotive force E (in volts) is 1 = (1 - e-(R/L)t ] R E [(a) If E = 120 volts, R = 10 ohms, and L = 5 henrys, howmuch current I, is flowing after 0.3 second? After0.5 second? After 1 second?(b) What is the maximum current?(c) Graph this function 1 = 1] (/), measuring 1 along they-axis and / along the x-axis.(d) If E = 1 20 volts, R = 5 ohms, and L = 10 henrys, howmuch current 12 is flowing after 0.3 second? After0.5 second? After 1 second?(e) What is the maximum current?(f) Graph this function 1 = 12(t) on the same coordinateaxes as l,(t).

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 107 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Current in a RL Circuit The equation governing the amount of current 1 (in amperes) after time / (in seconds) in a single RL circuit consisting of a resistance R (in ohms), an inductance L (in henrys), and an electromotive force E (in volts) is 1 = (1 - e-(R/L)t ] R E [(a) If E = 120 volts, R = 10 ohms, and L = 5 henrys, howmuch current I, is flowing after 0.3 second? After0.5 second? After 1 second?(b) What is the maximum current?(c) Graph this function 1 = 1] (/), measuring 1 along they-axis and / along the x-axis.(d) If E = 1 20 volts, R = 5 ohms, and L = 10 henrys, howmuch current 12 is flowing after 0.3 second? After0.5 second? After 1 second?(e) What is the maximum current?(f) Graph this function 1 = 12(t) on the same coordinateaxes as l,(t).
From the textbook chapter Exponential and Logarithmic Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
