Two inductors Li{L}_{i} (inductance 1mH1mH, internal resistance 3Ω3Ω )andL2and {L}_{2} (inductance 2mH2mH, internal resistance 4Ω4Ω ), and a resistor RR(resistance 12Ω12Ω ) are all connected in parallel across a 5V5V battery. The circuit is switched on at time t=0t = 0. The ratio of the maximum current \left(\dfrac{{I}_\max}{{I}_\min}\right) drawn from the battery is:Two inductors L _ i (inductance 1mH , internal resistance 3Ω ) and L _ 2 (inductance 2mH , internal resistance 4Ω ),

Correct answer

8

Step-by-step solution

Two inductors L _ i (inductance 1mH , internal resistance 3Ω ) and L _ 2 (inductance 2mH , internal resistance 4Ω ),
Initally, the inductances will offer infinite resistance and the current will be maximum.

{I}_\max = \dfrac{ε}{R} = \dfrac{5}{12}A (Initially at t = 0)

Upon reaching steady state, the inductances will act as pure resistors and hence the current will be minimum.
{I}_\min = \dfrac{ε}{{R}_{eq}} = ε\left(\dfrac{1}{{r}_{1}} + \dfrac{1}{{r}_{2}} + \dfrac{1}{R}\right)(Finallyinsteadystate)<br>(Finally in steady state)<br >= 5\left(\dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{12}\right)<br><br >= \dfrac{10}{3}A<br><br >\dfrac{{I}_\max}{{I}_\min} = 8
