The charge flowing in a conductor changes with time as Q(t)=\alphat−βt2+γt3Q\left(t\right) = \alphat - \beta{t}^{2} + \gamma{t}^{3}, where α,β\alpha, \beta and γ\gamma are constants. Minimum value of current is:

Options

  1. Aα−3β2γ\alpha - \dfrac{3{\beta}^{2}}{\gamma}
  2. Bα−γ23β\alpha - \dfrac{{\gamma}^{2}}{3\beta}
  3. Cβ−α23γ\beta - \dfrac{{\alpha}^{2}}{3\gamma}
  4. Dα−β23γ\alpha - \dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{3\gamma}

Correct answer

D. α−β23γ\alpha - \dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{3\gamma}

Step-by-step solution

Given here, Q=(\alphat−βt2+γt3)Q = \left(\alphat - \beta{t}^{2} + \gamma{t}^{3}\right)

Current flowing through conductor is given by

i=dQdt=(α−2\betat+3γt2)...(1)i = \dfrac{d Q}{d t} = \left(\alpha - 2\betat + 3\gamma{t}^{2}\right) . . . \left(1\right)

For current to be minimum, didt=0\dfrac{d i}{d t} = 0

So, didt=(6\gammat−2β)=0\dfrac{d i}{d t} = \left(6\gammat - 2\beta\right) = 0

⇒t=β3γ⇒ t = \dfrac{\beta}{3\gamma}

Substituting in equation (1),

i=(α−2\betat+3γt2)=α−2β(β3γ)+3γ(β3γ)2=α−2β23γ+3β29γ=(α−β23γ)i = \left(\alpha - 2\betat + 3\gamma{t}^{2}\right) = \alpha - 2\beta\left(\dfrac{\beta}{3\gamma}\right) + 3\gamma{\left(\dfrac{\beta}{3\gamma}\right)}^{2} = \alpha - 2\dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{3\gamma} + 3\dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{9\gamma} = \left(\alpha - \dfrac{{\beta}^{2}}{3\gamma}\right)
