Q44 / 44 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Alternating Current

The figure below shows a battery of emf ε connected to an inductor L and a resistance R in series. If the switch is closed at t=0 , then the total charge that flows from the battery in one time constant of the circuit is

Figure

  • A
    εLR21-1e
  • B
    εL2eR2
  • C
    εL4eR2
  • Correct answer
    D
    εLeR2

Solution

q=∫0τεR(1-e-t/τ)dt

q=εRt-e-t/τ-1τ0τ=εRτ+τe-1-τ
q=εR×1e×LR=εLR2e

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
