Question
A battery is connected in series with a 0.30-V resistorand an inductor, as in Figure P20.43. The switchis closed at t 5 0. The time constant of the circuit is0.25 s, and the maximum current in the circuit is 8.0 A.Find (a) the emf of the battery, (b) the inductance ofthe circuit, (c) the current in the circuit after one timeconstant has elapsed, (d) the voltage across the resistorafter one time constant has elapsed, and (e) thevoltage across the inductor after one time constant haselapsed.
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A battery is connected in series with a 0.30-V resistorand an inductor, as in Figure P20.43. The switchis closed at t 5 0. The time constant of the circuit is0.25 s, and the maximum current in the circuit is 8.0 A.Find (a) the emf of the battery, (b) the inductance ofthe circuit, (c) the current in the circuit after one timeconstant has elapsed, (d) the voltage across the resistorafter one time constant has elapsed, and (e) thevoltage across the inductor after one time constant haselapsed.
