A diode circuit feeds an ideal inductor as shown in the figure. Given vs = 100 sin(ωt) V, where ω = 100π rad/s, and L = 31.83 mH. The initial value of inductor current is zero. Switch S is closed at t = 2.5 ms. The peak value of inductor current iL (in A) in the first cycle is ________.
-
- 17.07 A
- 17 A
- 170.7 A
- 10.70 A
Correct Option: A
When S is closed VL = Vs
∴ L | = Vm sin ωt | |
dt |

di = | sin ωt . dt but ω = 100π rad / sec | |
L |
f = 50 Hg ⇒ T = 20 msa
Integrate on both sides


Current Ic is changing from 0 to max density their period.

= - | [cos(100π × 10 × 10-3) - cos(100π × 2.5 × 10-3)] | |
ωL |
= - | ![]() | cosπ - cos | ![]() | |||
ωL | 4 |
∴ Imax = | [1 + 0.707] = 17.07 A | |
100π × 31.83 × 10-3 |
