A 100 μF capacitor is charged with a 50 V source supply. Then the source supply is removed, and the capacitor is connected across a pure inductor coil. As a result of which 5 A current flows through the inductor. The value of the self-inductance of the coil is: |
0.01 H 0.02 H 0.1 H 0.17 H |
0.01 H |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 0.01 H Given: Capacitance $C = 100 \mu F = 100 \times 10^{-6} F$ Voltage $V = 50 \, V$ Current $I = 5 \, A$ Energy stored in capacitor: $E_C = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 10^{-6} \times (50)^2$ $E_C = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 10^{-6} \times 2500$ $E_C = 0.125 \, J$ Energy stored in inductor: $E_L = \frac{1}{2} L I^2$ Equating: $E_C = E_L$ $0.125 = \frac{1}{2} L (5^2)$ $0.125 = \frac{1}{2} L (25)$ $0.125 = 12.5 L$ $L = \frac{0.125}{12.5} = 0.01 \, H$ Final Answer: $L = 0.01 \, H$ |
