AI Thread Summary
The inductance of the series RL circuit, given a resistance of 1.0 K ohms and a current increase to 1/3 of its final value in 30 microseconds, is calculated to be approximately 74mH. The time constant (τ) is derived from the formula τ = L/R, leading to τ being around 74 microseconds. Substituting the values into the equation i(t) = I (1-1/e^t/τ) confirms that t/τ equals approximately 0.41. Therefore, the calculated inductance aligns with the answer choice of 74mH. The discussion concludes with agreement on the accuracy of the 74mH calculation.

I would like to verify these answers please..

What is the inductance of a series RL circuit in which R=1.0 K ohms if the current increases to 1/3 of it's final value in 30 Ms (M is the greek symbol Mu).

Is the answer 30 (none of these) or is it 74mH?? I calculated 74mH

i(t) = I (1-1/e^t/τ)

given i(t) = 1/3*I and t =30uS and τ =L/R

so,,substitutin these values

we get t/τ = 0.41

30*10^-6 / τ = 0.41

τ ˜ 74 μ sec

L/R ˜ 74usec

R = 1K

so,,L ˜74mH




The choices for answers are.

1.) 49
2.) none of these
3.) 99
4.)74
5.) 62

thankyou!

I get 74mH too.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
