An electrical circuit has in series and electromotive force given by E(t) = 100 sin(40t) volts (V), a resistor of 10 ohms (Ω) and an inductor of 0.5 henrys (H). The current i(t) in the circuit is initially 0 amps (A)?

(a) Set up the initial value problem in terms of di/dt, i(t) and the initial current i(0). (b) Solve the initial value problem in (a) to find the current i(t) at time t > 0. (c) Find the steady-state current, that is, the current in the circuit after a long period of time.

To analyze the given electrical circuit, we'll use Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and the relationship between voltage, current, resistance, and inductance.

Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the sum of the voltage drops across the components in a closed loop is equal to the electromotive force (EMF) in that loop.

Let's break down the given circuit:

Electromotive Force (EMF): The EMF is given by E(t) = 100 sin(40t) V, where t represents time in seconds.

Resistor: The resistor has a resistance of 10 Ω.

Inductor: The inductor has an inductance of 0.5 H.

Current: The current flowing through the circuit is denoted as i(t) and is initially 0 A.

To find the current i(t) in the circuit, we'll apply KVL. The sum of the voltage drops across the resistor and the inductor should be equal to the EMF.

Voltage drop across the resistor: V_R = i(t) * R = 10i(t) Ω

Voltage drop across the inductor: V_L = L * di(t)/dt = 0.5(di(t)/dt) H

Applying KVL: E(t) = V_R + V_L 100 sin(40t) = 10i(t) + 0.5(di(t)/dt)

To solve this second-order linear differential equation, we need to differentiate the equation with respect to time (t):

d/dt (100 sin(40t)) = d/dt (10i(t) + 0.5(di(t)/dt)) 4000 cos(40t) = 10(di(t)/dt) + 0.5(d^2i(t)/dt^2)

Now we have a second-order differential equation in terms of i(t). Rearranging the terms:

0.5(d^2i(t)/dt^2) + 10(di(t)/dt) - 4000 cos(40t) = 0

To solve this differential equation, we need to find the particular solution for i(t) that satisfies the initial condition i(0) = 0. The general solution will involve complementary and particular solutions.

Unfortunately, the given differential equation is nonlinear, and there is no simple analytical solution. To obtain the complete details of the current waveform, we'll need to solve this differential equation numerically using techniques like numerical integration or simulation software such as SPICE

When an inductor and resistor are connected in parallel by how many degrees is the current flow through the resistor out of phase with the current flow through the inductor?

When a resistor and an inductor are both connected to an AC supply, the current in the resistor is in phase with the voltage, while the current in the inductor is a quarter-cycle (90 degrees) behind. Supposing they both draw 1 amp on a 12-volt AC supply. The resistor will dissipate 12 watts, while the inductor will dissipate no power. Any power that enters the inductor comes back to the generator in a later part of the cycle. But the current drawn from the supply is 1.414 amps, so this would be a load with a power factor of 0.707.

What happens when a inductor reaches a steady state?

An inductor looks like a piece of wire to DC. It will thus look like a resistor, and inductor properties do not apply.


What is the difference between a resistor and an inductor?

Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.

What is the relationship of current through the resistor and inductor in the LR parallel circuit?

When they are in parallel the same voltage appear across both. The resistor carries a current of V/R, the inductor carries a current of V/(jwL). So the current in the inductor is 90 degrees behind in its phase.
