AIIMS 2018 Physics LR Circuits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In a series LR circuit (L = 3 H, R = 1.5 Ω) and DC voltage = 1 V. Find current at T=2 seconds.

A

0.4 Å

B

0.5 Å

C

0.3 Å

D

0.6 Å

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In a series LR circuit, the current I(t)I(t) can be calculated using the formula I(t)=VR(1eRLt)I(t) = \frac{V}{R} \left(1 - e^{-\frac{R}{L}t}\right), where VV is the voltage, RR is the resistance, LL is the inductance, and tt is time. Substituting the given values V=1VV = 1 \, \text{V}, R=1.5ΩR = 1.5 \, \Omega, L=3HL = 3 \, \text{H}, and t=2st = 2 \, \text{s}, we find I(2)=11.5(1e1.532)0.3AI(2) = \frac{1}{1.5} \left(1 - e^{-\frac{1.5}{3} \cdot 2}\right) \approx 0.3 \, \text{A}. Options A (0.4 A) and B (0.5 A) overestimate the current due to incorrect calculations, while option D (N/A) is irrelevant as a valid answer exists.
