A uniformly wound solenoidal coil of self-inductance 1.8×10−4H1.8 \times {10}^{- 4}H and resistance 6Ω6Ω is broken up into two identical coils. These identical coils are then connected in parallel across a 12V12V battery of negligible resistance. The time constant of the circuit is

Options

  1. A3×10−5s3 \times {10}^{- 5}s
  2. B1.5×10−5s1.5 \times {10}^{- 5}s
  3. C0.75×10−5s0.75 \times {10}^{- 5}s
  4. D6×10−5s6 \times {10}^{- 5}s

Correct answer

A. 3×10−5s3 \times {10}^{- 5}s

Step-by-step solution

1Lp=1L+1L=2L⇒LP=L2\dfrac{1}{Lp} = \dfrac{1}{L} + \dfrac{1}{L} = \dfrac{2}{L} ⇒ {L}_{P} = \dfrac{L}{2}

Where LL is inductance of each part,

=1.8×10−42=0.9×10−4H= \dfrac{\text{1.8} \times {10}^{- 4}}{2} = \text{0.9} \times {10}^{- 4}H

∴LP=L2=0.9×10−42=0.45×10−4H∴ {L}_{P} = \dfrac{L}{2} = \dfrac{\text{0.9} \times {10}^{- 4}}{2} = \text{0.45} \times {10}^{- 4}H

Resistance of each part, r=62=3Ωr = \dfrac{6}{2} = 3Ω

Now, 1rP=13+13=23\dfrac{1}{rP} = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2}{3}

Time constant of circuit,

=LPrP=0.45×10−41.5=3×10−5s= \dfrac{LP}{rP} = \dfrac{\text{0.45} \times {10}^{- 4}}{1.5} = 3 \times {10}^{- 5}s
