The problem involves calculating the effective voltage between two points in an inductance scenario, with a focus on the behavior of current over time. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to approach this type of problem, particularly in applying the relevant formula.
The discussion is ongoing, with some participants providing guidance on the interpretation of the formula and the significance of the inductor's orientation. There is acknowledgment of the original poster's attempts, but no consensus on a complete solution has been reached.
There is mention of the original poster's lack of familiarity with this type of problem, and a request for more detailed attempts to clarify their reasoning. The discussion includes references to plotting voltage waveforms and finding the root mean square (rms) value, indicating a focus on effective voltage calculations.
Looks correct to me.crom1 said:
Plot the voltage waveform accordingly and find its effective value. Do you know the general formula for finding the rms value?crom1 said:
You've got the right idea. the quantity ##dI/dt## is a signed quantity. So it'll determine the sign of the voltage at the output. The inductor "dots" are an indication of how the flux linkage between the inductors is oriented with regards to the ends of the inductors. By convention, an increasing current entering into the dot end of one inductor produces a potential across the other inductor which tries to increase the current flowing out of its dot end.crom1 said:
