    Doubt Inductor
AI Thread Summary
In an AC circuit with a pure inductor, the instantaneous EMF generated by the changing magnetic field equals the back EMF, which can lead to confusion about current flow. The relationship between current and voltage in an inductor is described by the equation V = L (di/dt), where V is the voltage across the inductor, L is the inductance, and di/dt is the rate of change of current. While the back EMF opposes the applied voltage, it does not mean that the net potential difference is zero; rather, the current can still flow due to the continuous change in current over time. The key point is that the back EMF is a result of the inductor's response to changes in current, allowing for current flow despite the opposing EMF. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for analyzing AC circuits with inductors.

Doubt on Inductor!pleasez help

Imagine an AC source and a pure inductor...if the Instantaneous EMF=Back EMF due to changing Magnetic field in Inductor then how does the current flow?

What is the equation for the relationship between current and voltage for an inductor?
 


I meant that if the back emf = applied voltage always then the net PD=0..so how can the current flow?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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...
