Short Answer
Question 1.

A metallic loop is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field. Will an emf be induced in the loop?


Answer:


Given that the magnetic field is non-uniform. The magnetic field will not be uniform throughout the area of the loop. Due to non-uniformity, the magnetic flux lines will be random. In random motion, the filed does not vary with time. If there is no change in the magnetic field, it can’t induce emf in the loop. So if the metallic loop is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, the filed will not induce emf in it. Thus, Non-uniform magnetic field does not induce the emf.



Question 2.

An inductor is connected to a battery through a switch. Explain why the emf induced in the inductor is much larger when the switch is opened as compared to the emf induced when the switch is closed.


Answer:

In the above circuit, the inductor is connected to a battery through a switch. In that when the switch is closed, the current will induce in the circuit. The magnetic flux will be increased. Change in flux will induce emf. When the switch has opened the drop in the current occur is more than the increase in the current when the switch is closed.


Due to this large amount of emf is induced in the inductor when the switch is closed as compared to when the switch is opened.



Question 3.

The coil of a moving-coil galvanometer keeps on oscillating for a long time if it is deflected and released. If the ends of the coil are connected together, the oscillation stops at once. Explain.


Answer:

If the two ends of the coil of the moving-coil galvanometer is connected together, then it will act as a closed loop. thus, the coil no longer acts as an inductor. Therefore, all oscillations stop at once.


While If the ends of the coil are not connected, then the coil will act as an indicator, it will oscillate up to the current in it decays slowly.



Question 4.

A short magnet is moved along the axis of conducting loops. Show that the loop repels the magnet if the magnet is approaching the loop and attracts the magnet if it is going away from the loop.


Answer:

Lenz's law: The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it.



See fig.(a). In that, the north pole is facing towards the loop. According to Lenz’s law, the direction of induced current will be anticlockwise. And the magnet is coming towards the loop. Then the flux through the loop will increase; it will create a magnetic field. This newly generated magnetic field will cancel the original magnetic field. Therefore the loops get repelled.


See fig.(b) in which the magnetic is moving away from the loop. It will lead to a decrease in the magnetic field intensity. Therefore, flux through the loop decreases. Therefore, flux through the loop decreases. According to Lenz's law in induced current produces a magnetic field in the opposite direction of the original field. Hence the loop attracts the magnet.



Question 5.

Two circular loops are placed coaxially but separated by a distance. A battery is suddenly connected to one of the loops establishing a current in it. Will there be a current induced in the other loop? If yes, when does the current start and when does it end? Do the loops attract each other or do they repel?




Answer:

Let us consider the loops as A and B. When the battery is connected to loop A; the current will flow in a clockwise direction. So the direction of the magnetic field due to the current will be towards left as seen from the loop B. Due to a sudden change in flux through loop A, a current will induce in loop B. But it will only be induced for a moment when the current suddenly jumps from zero to a constant value. After it attained a constant value, there will be no induced current in loop B.


According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So the induced current in loop B will be in the opposite direction to the magnetic field of loop A. So the direction of induced current in loop B will be in anticlockwise direction. And the current through loop B will end when the current through loop A becomes zero. Because the directions of the currents in the loops are opposite, they will repel each other.



Question 6.

The battery discussed in the previous question is suddenly disconnected. It a current induced in the A pivoted aluminium bar falls much more slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field than a similar bar of insulating material. loop? If yes, when does it start and when does it end?


Answer:

When the battery is suddenly disconnected, a current induced in B due to a sudden change in the flux through it. But it is only induced for a moment when the current suddenly falls to zero. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So that the induced current is such that it increases the decrease magnetic field. Therefore, if the current in loop A is in a clockwise direction, then the induced current in loop B will also be the clockwise direction. Hence two loops will attract each other.


Conclusion: If two circular loops are placed coaxially. A battery is connected to one of the loops. After some time, the battery is disconnected then the loops will attract each other.



Question 7.

If the magnetic fields outside a copper box are suddenly changed, what happens to the magnetic field inside the box? Such low-resistivity metals are used to form enclosures which shield objects inside them against varying magnetic fields.


Answer:

If the magnetic field is suddenly changing, it will induce eddy currents on the walls of the copper box. And because of these eddy currents there will be a magnetic field and that will be in the opposite direction. Copper is a good conductor of electricity, so a magnetic field due to eddy currents will have strong strength. This newly generated magnetic field will cancel the original magnetic field. So the magnetic field inside the box will become zero. In this way, the copper box will become a shield and protect the objects inside in it form varying magnetic fields.



Question 8.

Metallic (non-ferromagnetic) and nonmetallic particles in solid waste may be separated as follows. The waste is allowed to slide down an incline over permanent magnets. The metallic particles slow down as compared to the nonmetallic ones and hence are separated. Discuss the role of eddy currents in the process.


Answer:

When solid waste (metallic and non-metallic particles) allowed to slide over a permanent magnet, an emf will be induced in metallic particles. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So the induced emf in the metallic particles will oppose the downward notion along the inclined plane of the permanent magnet. And non-metallic particles are free from these effects. In this way, metallic particles slow down and get separated from the non-metallic particles.



Question 9.

A pivoted aluminium bar falls much more slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field than a similar bar of insulating material. Explain.


Answer:

Non-metallic or insulating materials are free of the effects of induced eddy currents or induced emf. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. Means the induced eddy current opposes its cause. That’s why an aluminium bar will falls slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field.



Question 10.

A metallic bob A oscillates through the space between the poles of an electromagnet (figure). The oscillations are more quickly damped when the circuit is on, as compared to the case when the circuit is off. Explain.




Answer:

When the circuit is on, eddy currents will produce on the surface of the metallic Bob. Eddy currents will generate thermal energy. Thermal energy comes as the loss of the kinetic energy of the Bob. Therefore, oscillations are more quickly damped when the circuit is on compared to when the circuit is of the bob.


Hence, oscillation is more quickly damped when the circuit is on compared to when the circuit is off.



Question 11.

Two circular loops are placed with their centres separated by a fixed distance. How would you orient the loops to have

(a) the largest mutual inductance

(b) the smallest mutual inductance?


Answer:

(a) The largest mutual induction


Mutual induction will be larger when the two loops are placed coaxially. Then the flux through a loop due to another loop is large. Hence, we will get the largest mutual inductance.


(b) The mutual inductance will be small when the two loops are placed such that their axis are perpendicular to each other. The flux through the loop due to another loop will be small. Therefore, we will get the smallest mutual inductance.


Thus, we can conclude that to get the largest mutual inductance the loop has to place coaxially and to get smallest mutual inductance, the axis of the loops has to place perpendicularly.



Question 12.

Consider the self-inductance per unit length of solenoids at its centre and that near its ends. Which of the two is greater?


Answer:

Self-inductance is given by



Self-inductance per unit length is given by



Where is the permeability of the free space


n is the number of turns per unit length


A is Area of a cross section of the solenoid


L is the self-inductance


l is the length the wire


Therefore, self-inductance at the centre and that near its ends will be the same since the self -induction is independent of the distance of the point from the centre of the solenoid.



Question 13.

Consider the energy density in a solenoid at its centre and that near its ends. Which of the two is greater?


Answer:

Energy density is given by


Energy density,


Where


U is the energy density of the solenoid


B is the magnetic field intensity of the solenoid


is the permeability of the free space.


In the solenoid, energy is stored in the form of magnetic field. For the constant flow of current, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform. So, the energy density in a solenoid is constant. Nothing is greater. The energy density at all the points inside a solenoid is the same.




Objective I
Question 1.

A rod of length ℓ rotates with a small but uniform angular velocity ω about its perpendicular bisector. A uniform magnetic field B exists parallel to the axis of rotation. The potential difference between the centre of the rod and an end is
A. zero

B. 1/8 ωB ℓ2

C. 1/2 ωB ℓ2

D. Bωℓ2


Answer:

Let us consider a small element at a distance from the centre of the rod rotating with angular velocity about its axis perpendicular bisector.


Formula used: The emf induced is given by



The emf is induced in the rod because of the small element is



Where is the emf induced in that small element


B is the magnetic field


is the angular velocity of the small element


is the length of the small element


The emf induced across the centre and the end of the rod is found by the integration of the above relation with respect to x from limit o to





The potential difference between the centre of the rod and an end is .


Thus, option B is correct.


Question 2.

A rod of length ℓ rotates with a uniform angular velocity ω about its perpendicular bisector. A uniform magnetic field B exists parallel to the axis of rotation. The potential difference between the two ends of the rod is
A. zero

B. 1/2 Bℓ ω2

→ length of the small element


The emf induced across the centre and the end of the rod is





The potential difference between the two ends is



The potential difference between the two ends of the rod is zero.


Question 3.

Consider the situation shown in the figure. If the switch is closed and after some time it is opened again, the closed loop will show.



A. an anticlockwise current-pulse

B. a clockwise current-pulse

C. an anticlockwise current-pulse and then a clockwise current-pulse

D. a clockwise current-pulse and then an anticlockwise current-pulse


Answer:

Let us consider tow points on the circuits A and B.

When the switch S is closed, the current will flow through A&B. Due to this magnetic field introduce in the loop.



According to Lenz’s law the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it.


So, the induced current will be in clockwise direction, and it opposes the increase in the magnetic field in the upward direction in the loop. When the switch S is opened, the current will fall due to this magnetic field in the loop will decrease. According to Lenz's law, the induced current will be in the anti-clockwise direction opposing the direction in the magnetic field in an upward direction in the loop.


If the switch is closed and after some time it is opened again, the closed loop will show a clockwise current-pulse and then an anticlockwise current-pulse


Question 4.

Solve the previous question if the closed loop is completely enclosed in the circuit containing the switch.



A. an anticlockwise current-pulse

B. a clockwise current-pulse

C. an anticlockwise current-pulse and then a clockwise current-pulse

D. a clockwise current-pulse and then an anticlockwise current-pulse


Answer:


According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the induced current will be anticlockwise when the switch S is closed. When the switch S is open, the current will suddenly fall. Then the magnetic field at the centre of the loop will decrease. Then the induced emf will be in the clockwise direction.


If the closed loop is completely enclosed in the circuit containing the switch.


Question 5.

A bar magnet is released from rest along the axis of a very long, vertical copper tube. After some time, the magnet.
A. will stop in tube

B. will move with almost content speed

C. will move with an acceleration g

D. will oscillate.


Answer:

The flux linked with the copper tube will change because of the motion of the magnet. This will produce an eddy current in the body of the copper tube. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So the induced Current will be in the opposite direction to the magnet field of the bar magnet. And it will slow the fall of the magnet. Then negative acceleration nothing retarding force will act on the bar magnet. If the velocity of the magnet is increased then the retarding force will also increase. And it will happen up to this retarding force is equal to the force of gravity. Then the total force acting on the bar magnet will become zero. Then the magnet will move with almost a constant speed. So option B is correct.


Question 6.

The figure shows a horizontal solenoid connected to a battery and a switch. A copper ring is placed on a frictionless track, the axis of the ring is along the axis of the solenoid. As the switch is closed, the ring will



A. remain stationary

B. move towards the solenoid

C. move away from the solenoid

D. move towards the solenoid or away from it depending on which terminal (Positive or negative) of the battery is connected to the left end of the solenoid.


Answer:


For the circuit


Emf introduced in the solenoid,


Where


L is the self-inductance of the solenoid


I is the current in the solenoid.


The direction of the current in the loop is clockwise. When the switch is closed the current will flow in the circuit. Therefore, the current on the solenoid will be increase. Then it will induce a current in the copper ring which is placed along a axis of solenoid. According to Lenz’s law the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the induce current in the copper ring will be anticlockwise. Because of the opposite direction of the currents the ring will repel. So it will move away from the solenoid.


Horizontal solenoid connected to a battery and a switch. A copper ring is placed on a frictionless track, the axis of the ring being along the axis of the solenoid. As the switch is closed, the ring will move away fro the solenoid.


Question 7.

Consider the following statements:

(A) An emf can be induced by moving a conductor in a magnetic field.

(B) An emf can be induced by changing the magnetic field.

A. Both A and B are true

B. A is true but B is false.

C. B is true but A is false

D. Both A and B are false


Answer:

Formula used: emf is given by



Where v is the speed


B is the magnetic field


l is the length


That above formula states that an emf induced by moving a conductor of length l with some velocity v in a magnetic field B.



Where is the electric flux through the conductor


emf induced in the conductor


Formula (2) states that an emf can be induced by changing the magnetic field that causes the change in flux through a conductor in a loop.


So option A is the answer.


Question 8.

Consider the situation shown in the figure. The wire AB is slid on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire AB is replaced by a semicircular wire, the magnitude of the induced current will



A. increase

B. remain the same

C. decrease

D. increase or decrease depending on whether the semi-circle bulges towards the resistance or away from it.


Answer:

Draw the equivalent circuit


The formula used: The emf induced across A and B is



Where v is the speed


B is the magnetic field


l is the length


The induced emf will serve as a voltage source. The direction of the current is anticlockwise, according to Lenz’s law.


According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it.



Putting the value in the above equation, we get



The induced emf depends on the length of the wire but not on the shape of the wire.


If the wire is replaced by a semicircular wire, the induced emf will be same.


Question 9.

B is the magnetic field


L is the length


The power delivered to the loop is



Where P is the Power delivered to the loop

is the emf induced




From the above equation, P is proportional to v2. Curve b showing this relation.



Question 10.

Two circular loops of equal radii are placed coaxially at some separation. The first is cut and a battery is inserted in between to drive a current in it. The current changes slightly because of the variation in resistance with temperature. During this period, the two loops
A. attract each other

B. repel each other

C. do not exert any force on each other

D. attract or repel each other depending on the sense of the current.


Answer:


By the right-hand screw rule, the magnetic field will be towards the left side. Due to the increase in resistance with temperature, the current through the loop will decrease with time. This change in current will induce the current in loop B. According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the direction of induced current in loop B will be in a clockwise direction. Because of the directions of currents, they will attract each other.


Thus, Option A is correct.


Question 11.

A small, conducting circular loop is placed inside a long solenoid carrying a current. The plane of the loop contains the axis of the solenoid. If the current in the solenoid is varied, the current induced in the loop is
A. clockwise

B. anticlockwise

C. zero

D. clockwise or anticlockwise depending on whether the resistance is increased or decreased.


Answer:

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is parallel to its axis. If the plane of the loop contains the axis of the solenoid, the angle between the area vector of a circular loop and the magnetic field will be zero.

The formula used: The flux through the circular loop is given by



Where is the electric flux


B is the magnetic field due to the solenoid


A is the Area of the circular loop


is the Angle between magnetic field and area vector



=constant


Then the induced emf is given by




Because BA is constant


The induced emf does not depend on the varying current through the solenoid. The induced emf will be zero for a constant flux through the loop. So no current will be induced in the loop.


Question 12.

A conducting square loop of side ℓ and resistance R moves in its plane with a uniform velocity v perpendicular to one of its sides. A uniform and constant magnetic field B exists along the perpendicular to the plane of the loop, as shown in the figure. The current induced in the loop is



A. Bℓv/R clockwise

B. Bℓv/R anticlockwise

C. 2Bℓv/R anticlockwise

D. zero


Answer:

if we draw the equivalent circuit, it will be look like


The formula used: The emf induces across the ends AB and CD is given by



Where E is the emf


V is the velocity


B is the magnetic field


l is the length


Apply KVL in the loop in fig(b).




Here the current I become zero means that there is no current induced in the loop. So the current induced in the loop will be zero.

A bar magnet is moving along the axis of a copper ring. The movement of a magnet there will be a magnetic field. Then the current will be induced in the copper ring. It is observed that the current is in an anticlockwise direction looking from the magnet. Then the magnetic field induced in the copper ring will be towards the observer (We are observing the current direction form the magnet).

According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. If the south pole faces the ring and the magnet is moving towards the then the current induced in the ring will be the clockwise direction. In the same case if the magnet is moving away from the ring, then the current will be in the anticlockwise direction. If the magnet is moving towards the ring and north pole is facing the ring, then the current induced in the ring will be in the anticlockwise direction. If the magnet is moving away from the ring, in this case, the induced current will be in a clockwise direction. So option B and C are correct.


Question 2.

A conducting rod is moved with a constant velocity v in a magnetic field. A potential difference appears across the two ends.
A. If

B. If

C. If

D. None of the above


Answer:

The potential difference across the two ends is given by


Where is the emf or potential difference


v→ velocity of conducting rod


B is the magnetic field


L is the length of the rod


Consider some conditions,


i. The magnetic field is in the perpendicular direction to the velocity of the rod


ii. The magnetic field is in the perpendicular direction to the length of the rod


iii. The velocity of the rod is perpendicular to the direction to the length of the rod


In the above-mentioned conditions, only the potential difference across the two ends will be non zero.


In the given conditions in the A, B and C, the potential difference across the two ends is zero. So option D is correct.


Question 3.

A conducting loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field with its plane perpendicular to the field. An emf is induced in the loop if
A. it is translated

B. it is rotated about its axis

C. it is rotated about a diameter

D. it is deformed


Answer:

Conducting loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field with its plane perpendicular to the field. An emf will be induced only when the magnetic flux changes. If there is no change in magnetic flux, then induced emf will be zero. An emf will be induced in the loop only when

i. The loop is rotated about a diameter


ii. Deforming the loop.


If the loop is deformed, the area of the loop inside the magnetic field changes. So magnetic flux will change leads to induce an emf. On rotating about its axis, the magnetic flux does not change. So an emf induced in the loop is zero.


Thus, Option C and D are correct.


Question 4.

A metal sheet is placed in front of a strong magnetic pole. A force is needed to
A. hold the sheet there if the metal is magnetic

B. hold the sheet there if the metal is non-magnetic

C. move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if the metal is magnetic.

D. move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if the metal is non-magnetic.

Neglect any effect of paramagnetism, diamagnetism and gravity.


Answer:

A metal sheet is placed in front of the strong magnetic pole. This pole has q strong magnetic field. A strong magnetic pole will attract the magnet if the metal is magnetic then a force is needed to hold the metal sheet. If the metal is magnetic or not if we want to move the metal sheet away from that strong magnetic pole we need some force do it. Because of the movement, eddy currents will be induced in the sheet. These eddy currents produce thermal energy. Thermal energy comes at the cost of kinetic energy. Thus, the plates slow down. So we need a force to hold the sheet if the metal is magnetic. And also the sheet needs a force to move away from that strong magnetic filed even it is nonmagnetic.

So option A, C and D are correct.

A constant current i is maintained in a solenoid. Which of the following quantities will increase if an iron rod is inserted in the solenoid along its axis?
A. The magnetic field at the centre

B. magnetic flux linked with the solenoid

C. self-inductance of the solenoid

D. rate of Joule heating.


Answer:

The iron rod has high permeability. So if we insert the iron rod in the solenoid along its axis, the magnetic flux inside the solenoid will increases. The self-inductance of the coil is proportional to the permeability of the material inside the solenoid. Because of an increase in the permeability inside the coil, the self-inductance will also increase. Thus, a constant current I will be maintained in the solenoid. Then

1. magnetic field at the centre


2. Magnetic flux linked with the solenoid


3. self-inductance of the solenoid is increased if an iron rod is inserted in the solenoid along its axis.


Thus, option A, B and C is the correct option.

Which of the following quantities are different for the two solenoids?

A. self-inductance

B. rate of Joule heating if the same current goes through them

C. magnetic field energy if the same current goes through them.

D. time constant if one solenoid is connected to one battery and the other is connected to another battery.


Answer:

The two solenoids are identical. Therefore, the self-inductance of the two solenoids is the same.

The formula used: energy stored in the inductor is given by



Where U is the Magnetic energy


L is the self-Inductance


I is the Current

Current is zero at t=0, So magnetic field energy is also zero.


Therefore, power delivers by the battery is also zero at t=0.


At t=0, the current is on the verge to start growing in the circuit. So there will an induced emf at that time to oppose the growing current.


In the LR circuit, at time t=0 there will be an induced emf in the inductor. Exactly at t=0, the current, magnetic field and power delivered by the battery are zero.

A. The rod becomes electrically charged.

B. The end A becomes positively charged.

C. The end B becomes positively charged.

D. The rod becomes hot because of Joule heating.


Answer:

Due to electromagnetic induction, the emf will be induced in the rod. Induced emf is given by the formula end A becomes more positive because the direction of the induced emf is from A to B. This is because of the magnetic field exerts a same force equal to on each of the electrons, where C. According to Fleming’s left hand rule (If a conductor is placed in a magnetic field then the force acting on the conductor is in the perpendicular direction to the magnetic field and current direction) the, end A becomes positive and, end B becomes negatively charged.

Conclusion: A rod AB moves with a uniform velocity v in a uniform magnetic field then the end A becomes positively charged.

(a) when the angles at the corner reduce to 60°



We know that,


motional emf produced due to a conductor of length l moving with velocity v in a magnetic field B is given by



Motional emf is produced in each side of rhombus and the effective length of each side is the length perpendicular to velocity of corners.


From the fig. the effective length of each side is



Since velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field the equation of emf induced in each side given by



Total emf induced in all four side is



Therefore, induced emf in the frame when the angles at the corner reduces to 60° is 2uBa

From Lenz’s law,


The direction of induced current is such that it opposes the change that has induced it.


According to fig.



The flux in the downward direction increases, so the current is induced such that flux in upward direction increases. Therefore, current is induced in anticlockwise direction


Therefore, average emf induced in the coil is 1V in anti-clockwise direction



Question 15.

A wire-loop confined in a plane is rotated in its own plane with some angular velocity. A uniform magnetic field exists in the region. Find the emf induced in the loop.


Answer:

Let the area of the wire-loop be A and magnetic field intensity be B.


When the wire rotates in its own plate the area through which flux passes remains same and B is also constant.


Hence, the flux passing through the loop remains constant and is given by



Now,


by faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction

…(i)


Where

Putting the values of in eqn.(i),



Therefore magnitude of induced emf at t=2s is


(b) t=10s


distance moved by the square loop


at this moment, square loop is completely inside the magnetic field and area of loop through which flux pass


so the flux linkage does not changes with time


and thus from eqn.(i)



Therefore, magnitude of induced emf in the coil at t=10s is zero


(c) t=22s


distance moved by the loop


the loop is moving out of the field, the area of loop under the field is


the magnetic flux acting on the loop is



(- sign as the flux has decreased)


The induced emf is



Therefore magnitude of induced emf at t=22s is


(d) t=30s


distance moved by the square loop


at this time, square loop is completely outside the magnetic field and the area of loo through which flux passes =0


hence the flux linkage through the loop remains zero


and thus from eqn.(i)

Current in the coil is



Heat produced in the coil is given by the formula


…. (i)


where


i=current


R=resistance


t=time interval


putting the values of i, R and t in above eqn. we get,



Emf induced in the time interval 5-20s and 25-30s =0


So current in the coil during this time



Heat produced in the coil is given by eqn.(i)



Emf induced in the time interval 20-25s is same as that induced at 5s



Hence the current and heat produced during this interval is same and given by



Total heat produced is given by

Question 69.

Find the value of t/τ for which the current in an LR circuit builds

up to

(a) 90%

(b) 99%

(c) 99.9%

Answer:

For a series LR circuit, the current across the inductor varies as a


function of time. The current across the inductor at time t will


be


…(i)


where i0 is the current at time t=0(also called the steady state value), R is the resistance of the resistor and L is the inductance of the inductor.


We can define a quantity called the time constant for a series LR circuit. It is given as



So equation(i) becomes


…(ii)


We have to find the values of for three different values of current


(a)- when i is 90% of i0


90% of i0 is i0, so


Putting these values in eq(ii)

(as ln (1) is equal to 0)



The value of for which the current is 90% of steady state


value is 2.3.


(b)- when i is 99% of i0


99% of i0 is i0, so


Putting these values in eq(ii)






Taking natural logarithm on both sides




(as ln (1) is equal to 0)



The value of for which the current is 99% of steady state


value is 4.6.


(c)- when i is 90% of i0


99.9% of i0 is i0, so


Putting these values in eq(ii)






Taking natural logarithm on both sides




(as ln (1) is equal to 0)



The value of for which the current is 99.9% of steady state


value is 6.9.
