A series L - R circuit is connected to a battery of emf V . If the circuit is switched on at t = 0 , then the time at which the energy stored in the inductor reaches 1 n times of its maximum value, is :
Options
- AL R ln n n - 1
- BL R ln n + 1 n - 1
- CL R ln n n + 1
- DL R ln n - 1 n
Correct answer
A. L R ln n n - 1
Step-by-step solution
Potential energy stored in inductor is given by U = 1 2 L 2 ∪ ∝ l 2 U U 0 = 1 I 0 2 1 n = 1 I 0 2 1 I 0 = 1 - e - RT / L = 1 n t = L R ln n n - 1
