Question

The figure shows a circuit consisting of an ideal cell of emf E=10 V, an inductor of inductance L=2 H and a resistor of resistance R=5 Ω connected in series. The switch S is closed at t=0. Suppose at t=0, current in the inductor is i0=1 A, then find out the equation of current as a function of time.

Solution

The correct option is A 2e5t2

Let at any instant t current in the circuit is i which is increasing at the rate of didt

Using KVL to the given circuit, we get,

ELdidtiR=0

Ldidt=EiR

diEiR=dtL

On integrating both sides, with proper limit we get,

ii0diEiR=t0dtL

ln[EiRR]ii0=tL

ln[EiR]ii0=RtL

ln[EiREi0R]=RtL

Taking Antilog on both sides, we get,

[EiREi0R]=eRtL

EiR=(Ei0R)eRtL

i=E(Ei0R)eRtLR

Here,
L=2 H ; R=5 Ω E=10 V ; i0=1 A

i=10(101×5)e5t25

i=2e5t2

Why this question ?
Caution: Pay attention on the direction of current while applying KVL in the circuit and rate of current in the inductor.
