An inductor coil stores $U$ energy when $I$ current is passed through it and dissipates energy at the rate of $P$. The time constant of the circuit,when this coil is connected across a battery of zero internal resistance,is

  • A
    $\frac{4U}{P}$
  • B
    $\frac{U}{P}$
  • C
    $\frac{2U}{P}$
  • D
    $\frac{2P}{U}$

In an $L-R$ decay circuit,the initial current at $t = 0$ is $I$. The total charge that has flown through the resistor until the energy in the inductor has reduced to one-fourth of its initial value is:

As shown in the figure,a battery of $emf \; \varepsilon$ is connected to an inductor $L$ and resistance $R$ in series. The switch $S$ is closed at $t=0$. The total charge that flows from the battery between $t=0$ and $t=t_{c}$ ($t_{c}$ is the time constant of the circuit) is

In the figure,a lamp $P$ is in series with an iron-core inductor $L$. When the switch $S$ is closed,the brightness of the lamp rises relatively slowly to its full brightness compared to the case without the inductor. This is due to:

$A$ $50 \, V$ potential difference is suddenly applied to a coil with $L = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, H$ and $R = 180 \, \Omega$. The rate of increase of current after $0.001 \, s$ is ....... $A/s$.
