Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. In the circuit shown below, the switch is moved from position A to B at time t = 0. The current i through the inductor satisfies the following conditions—

    1. i(0) = – 8A
    2.
    di
    (t = 0) = 3A/s
    dt

    3. i(∞) = 4A The value of R is—
    1. 0.5 ohm
    2. 2.0 ohm
    3. 4.0 ohm
    4. 12 ohm
Correct Option: A


When the switch in the position B, as shown below.

Writing voltage equation.

Ri + L
di
= E2 ....(A)
dt

Taking Laplace transform
RI(s) + 2[sI(s) – I(0)] =
E2
s

or (R + 2) I(s) =
E2
– 16 (since, I(0) = – 8A)
s

or I(s) =
E2
16
s(R + 2s)(R + 2s)

or I(s) =
E2
1
2
16
RsR + 2s(R + 2s)

(By using partial fraction)
Taking inverse Laplace transform
i(t) = E2 R 1 – e[–(R/2) t] – 8e–(R/2) t....(B)
Given: i(t) =
E2
= 4 ....(i)
R

Again
di(0)
= 3 =
E2
.
R
+ 4R ....(ii)
dtR2

Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
R = 0.5 ohm
