Given Information:
Resistance = R = 14 Ω
Inductance = L = 2.3 H
voltage = V = 100 V
time = t = 0.13 s
Required Information:
(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field
(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance
(c) energy is being delivered by the battery?
Answer:
(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field ≈ 219 watts
(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance ≈ 267 watts
(c) energy is being delivered by the battery ≈ 481 watts
Explanation:
The energy stored in the inductor is given by
The rate at which the energy is being stored in the inductor is given by
The current through the RL circuit is given by
Where τ is the the time constant and is given by
Therefore, eq. 1 becomes
At t = 0.13 seconds
(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance
The thermal energy is given by
(c) energy is being delivered by the battery?
The energy delivered by battery is
