A coil of inductance 300 mH and resistance 2 is connected to a source of voltage 2 V. The current reaches half of its steady state value in
(a) 0.15 s
(b) 0.3 s
(c) 0.05 s
(d) 0.1 s
Best answer
Correct answer is option d) 0.1 s
Explaination:
During growth of charge in an inductance, I = I0 (1 – e –Rt/L)
or \(\frac{I_0}{2} = I_0(1 – e^{ –\frac{Rt}{L}})\)
\( e^{ –\frac{Rt}{L}}=\frac{1}{2}=2^{-1}\)
or \( \frac{Rt}{L} =ln2\)
⇒t = (\(\frac{L}{R}\))In 2
t =[\(\frac{(300 \times 10^{-3})}{2}\)] x (0.693)
or t = 0.1 sec
