Answer:

R = 2481 Ω  

L= 1.67 H

Explanation:

(a) We have an inductor L which has an internal resistance of R. The inductor is connected to a battery with an emf of E = 12.0 V. So this circuit is equivalent to a simple RL circuit. It is given that the current is 4.86 mA at 0.725 ms after the connection is completed and is 6.45 mA after a long time. First we need to find the resistance of the inductor. The current flowing in an RL circuit is given by

i = E/R(1 -e^(-R/L)*t)                                                   (1)

at t --> ∞ the current is the maximum, that is,  

i_max = E/R

solve for R and substitute to get,  

R=  E/i_max

R = 2481 Ω  

(b) To find the inductance we will use i(t = 0.940 ms) = 4.86 mA, solve (1) for L as,  

Rt/L = - In (1  - i/i_max )

Or,  

L = - Rt/In (1  - i/i_max )

substitute with the givens to get,

L = -(2481 Si) (9.40 x 10-4 s)/ In (1  - 4.86/6.45 )  

L= 1.67 H

<u><em>error maybe in calculation but method is correct</em></u>

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 1860 Ω

(b) 0.16H

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

This is an RL circuit as it contains an inductor with and inherent resistance.

The current, I, flowing through such circuit is given by;

I = \frac{E}{R}[1 - e^{-(R/L)t}]          --------------(i)

Where;

E = emf of the circuit = 12.0V

R = Resistance of the inductor

L = inductance of the inductor

t = time taken for the flow of current

(a) After a long time, i.e t → ∞, the current becomes saturated (i.e maximum) and the value is 6.45mA.

At this time, e^{-(R/L)t} (from equation (i)) becomes 0 and current I, becomes;

I = \frac{E}{R}   -------------------(ii)

Now substitute the value of E and I into equation (ii) as follows;

6.45 x 10⁻³= \frac{12.0}{R}

R = \frac{12.0}{6.45 * 10^{-3}}

R = 1860Ω

Therefore, the resistance of the inductor is 1860 Ω

(b) To get the inductance L of the inductor, we substitute I = 4.86mA at time t = 0.725ms into equation (i) as follows;

4.86 x 10⁻³ =  \frac{12.0}{1860}[1 - e^{-(1860/L)0.00486}]

4.86 x 10⁻³ x 1860 = 12.0[1 - e^{-(1860/L)0.00486}]

0.7533 = [1 - e^{-(1860/L)0.00486}]

1  - 0.7533 = e^{-(1860/L)0.00486}

0.2467 = e^{-(1860/L)0.00486}

Take the natural log of both sides

ln(0.2467) = -1860 x 0.00468 / L

-1.3996 = -8.7048 / L

L = -1.3996 / -8.7048

L = 0.16H

Therefore, the inductance of the inductor is 0.16H

Tomtit [17]
<span><u>Answer </u>
The mass of 220 lb football has less than 288 lb football. So, it will be easier to move it since it will require less force. The heavy football will have a bigger momentum. Since 288 lb has more weight than 220 lb, it will have bigger inertia making it difficult for the players to stop it.
This makes it easier to tackle 220 lb football than 288 lb football.
