Q21 / 44 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Alternating Current

The steady-state current through L1 after the switch has been closed for a very long time is

Figure

  • A
    V0R
  • B
    V0L1RL1+L2
  • Correct answer
    C
    V0L2RL1+L2
  • D
    None of these

Solution

After a very long time t→∞, 

I0=VR          ....(i)

Since the inductors are in parallel,

L1dI1dt=L2dI2dt

After a long time,

L1I1=L2I2         .... (ii)

The total current I0 through the battery is divided into the inductors, hence

I0=I1+I2          ..... (iii)

From equations (ii) & (iii)

I1=(L2L1+L2)I0&I2=(L1L1+L2)I0

The current through L1 is

 I1=(L2L1+L2)I0

=(L2L1+L2)V0R

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