Given L1=1mH,R1=1Ω,L2=2mH,R2=2Ω
Neglecting mutual inductance, the time constants (in ms) for circuits (i), (ii), and (iii) are:
For
(i): Leq=L1+L2=1+2=3mH and
Req=R1+R2=1+2=3Ω
Time constant
=LeqReq=33=1ms
For
(ii):
Leq=L1L2L1+L2=1(2)1+2=2/3mH and
Req=R1R2R1+R2=1(2)1+2=2/3Ω
Time
constant
=LeqReq=2/32/3=1ms
For
(iii): Leq=L1+L2=1+2=3mH
and Req=R1R2R1+R2=1(2)1+2=2/3Ω
Time constant =LeqReq=32/3=9/2ms
