518. Problem 38.4 (RHK) At a given instant the current and the induced emf in an
inductor are as indicated in the figure. (a) We have to answer whether
the current is increasing or decreasing; and (b) if the emf is
17 V, and if the rate of change of the current is
|
Solution: Click For PDF Version We note the direction of the emf due to inductance. As it will add to the flow of the current in the circuit, by Lenz’ law the current is decreasing. The rate of change of current, The emf across the inductance is Therefore, the value of the inductance in the circuit is |
