For the circuit shown below current to through the inductor is given by the relation—
-
- 5 amp.
- (1.1 – 1) + 1
- (1.1 – 1) + 1
- None of these
Correct Option: D
Given circuit
i L (0–) = i L (0+) = | where R eq = 25 || (10 + 20) | Req |
= | Ω | 25 + 30 | 55 |
or i L (0–) = | = 1.1 amp. | 25 × 30 |
Calculation for i L (∞):
Circuit becomes here the current through the inductor
IL (∞)=I1 + I2
I1 = | 20 |
= | = | = | 20 | 20 x 20 | 8 |

and I2 = | = | | 25 | 8 |
IL = | + | = | = | 1 amp. | 5 | 8 | 40 | 40 |
As we know that the general equation for the current

i (t) = [i (0–) – i (∞)] e –t + i (∞) .....(i)
Calculation for the time constant ():
= | = | | Req | [(10 || 100 + 20) || 25] |
= | = | | 2(25 / 2) | 25 |
Now, on putting these values in equation (i), we get.
i (t) = [1.1 – 1] e – t / 1/25 + 1
