Two inductors L _ i (inductance 1mH , internal resistance 3Ω ) and...
Two inductors (inductance , internal resistance ) (inductance , internal resistance ), and a resistor (resistance ) are all connected in parallel across a battery. The circuit is switched on at time . The ratio of the maximum current \left(\dfrac{{I}_\max}{{I}_\min}\right) drawn from the battery is:
Correct answer
8
Step-by-step solution
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)= 5\left(\dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{12}\right)= \dfrac{10}{3}A\dfrac{{I}_\max}{{I}_\min} = 8
