The current to reach 1.00% of its original value after S1 is opened.
In this circuit, we can calculate the inductance (L) using the given values:
Given:
- R (resistance) = 15.0 Ω
- Initial current (I0) = not given (we'll use the final current after opening S1, which is 0.270 A)
- Current at time t (I) = 0 A (since S1 is opened)
The formula for inductance (L) is:
L = (R * t) / ln(I0 / I)
We'll use the values provided: R = 15.0 Ω, t = 2.40 ms (converted to seconds), I0 = initial current, and I = 0.270 A.
L = (15.0 Ω * (2.40 x 10^(-3) s)) / ln(I0 / 0.270 A)
You'll need to know the initial current (I0) to proceed with the calculation. If the initial current is not provided, you may need additional information or clarification.
Once you have the value of L, you can use it in Part B to calculate the time it takes for the current to reach 1.00% of its original value after S1 is opened. The formula for time (t) is:
t = -ln(0.01) * (L / R)
Substitute the values of L and R into the formula to find the time it takes for the current to reach 1.00% of its original value after S1 is opened.
