(a)Compute the time constant.
(b)Sketch the current through the inductor as a function of time.
(c)How long does it take for the current in the circuit to reach 99% of its final value?
(d)How much energy is stored in the inductor when the final current is reached?

Answer:

T= 0.167 millisecs (T is time constant)

[tex]I = 1- e^{-6000t}[/tex]

T₉₉ = 0.768 millisecs (T₉₉ is time taken to reach 99% current value)

E = 10⁻³ Joules or 1 milli Joule

Explanation:

Here the expression of Time Constant for a series L-R circuit is[tex]T =\frac{L}{R}[/tex]

Thus [tex]T = \frac{2* 10^{-3} }{12}[/tex] = 0.167 millisecs

The current flowing in series L-R circuit is given by the expression

[tex]I = \frac{V}{R} (1 - e^{-\frac{t}{T} } )[/tex]

Substituting required values we get

[tex]I = 1- e^{-6000t}[/tex]

Final current is when t -> ∞ I(final) -> 1

Thus when I = 0.99 then t = T₉₉

[tex]0.99 = 1- e^{-6000T_{99} }[/tex]

Solving we get

T₉₉ = 0.768 millisecs

Energy stored in inductor is [tex]\frac{1}{2} Li^{2}[/tex]

Here final current is I(final)->1

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}* 2*10^{-3} *1^{2}[/tex]

Thus,

E = 10⁻³ Joules or 1 milli Joule
