Question

An inductor with an inductance of 3.00H and a resistance of 7.00Ω is connected to the terminals of a battery with an emf of 12.0V and negligible internal resistance. What is the rate at which the energy of the magnetic field in the inductor is increasing, as a function of time?

Solution

Given : R=7Ω L=3 H V=12 volts
Current flowing as a function of time is given by I=VR(1eRtL)
I=127(1e7t3)
Or I=1.7(1e2.3t)
Differentiating it w.r.t. time, we get dIdt=1.7×e2.3t×2.3=3.9e2.3t
Energy stored in the inductor U=12LI2
Rate of increase in energy dUdt=LIdIdt
dUdt=3×1.7(1e2.3t)×3.9×e2.3t=2(e2.3te4.6t) Watts
