Answer:
Current, I = 1.23 A
Explanation:
Given that,
Inductance, L = 35 mH
Resistance, R = 12 ohms
Potential difference, V = 18 V
We need to find current 5 ms after the switch is closed. Current in LR circuit is given by :
[tex]I=I_o(1-e^{-t/\tau })[/tex] ....(1)
Here,
[tex]I_o[/tex] is final current
[tex]I_o=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I_o=\dfrac{18}{12}=1.5\ A[/tex]
[tex]\tau[/tex] is time constant
[tex]\tau=\dfrac{L}{R}\\\\\tau=\dfrac{35\times 10^{-3}}{12}\\\\\tau=0.00291\ s[/tex]
So, equation (1) becomes :
[tex]I=1.5\times (1-e^{-5\times 10^{-3}/0.00291})\\\\I=1.23\ A[/tex]
So, after 5 ms the current in the circuit is 1.23 A.
