An EMF of 15 V is applied to a circuit containing an inductance of 5 H and a resistance of 10 ohm in series. Find the ratio of the current at t = infinity to the current at t = 1 second.
- 1/(1 - e⁻²)
- 1 - e⁻²
- 1/(1 - e⁻⁰.5)
- e⁻²
Correct answer: 1/(1 - e⁻²)
Solution
I(t) = (EMF/R)(1 - e^(-Rt/L)). tau = L/R = 5/10 = 0.5 s. I(infinity) = EMF/R = 15/10 = 1.5 A. I(1 s) = 1.5*(1 - e^(-1/0.5)) = 1.5*(1 - e⁻²). Ratio I(infinity)/I(1) = 1/(1 - e⁻²) approx 1/(1-0.135) = 1.156.
