Question

Problem 3: A resistor of resistance R = 10 ? is connected in series with an inductor of L = 15 mH. The RL combination is connected to a variable voltage power supply (V = 7.5 V) by a switch as shown. Part (a) What is the time constant (?) of the combination in seconds? Part (b) The power supply is set to maintain a constant voltage of V = 7.5 V and the switch is closed. Calculate the current, in amperes, through the circuit at t = 0.055 ms after the switch is closed. i = 0.231 Part (c) Calculate the current through the circuit, in amperes, after the switch has been closed for a long time.

Step 1

Given: Resistance, R = 10 Ω Inductance, L = 15 mH = 15 x 10^-3 H The time constant (T) of an RL circuit is given by the formula: T = L / R Substitute the values: T = 15 x 10^-3 / 10 T = 1.5 x 10^-3 seconds Show more…
