  • A Current Though A Voltage AC Source

    The current through the inductor LAGs the voltage by 90 degrees while the current through the capacitor LEADs the voltage and hence these currents are in the opposite direction and so we have a subtracted quantity for the total current through the voltage

  • voltage and current relationship in capacitor and inductor

    How much time must elapse before the voltage across the capacitor drops to 37% of its initial value? 7. A current i(t) = 3e^(-2t) A is flowing through a 2 H inductor. What is the voltage across the inductor?

  • Steady State Conditions

    All of this current will go through the inductor since the resistance is zero and the current will follow the path of least resistance. The current through the inductor will thus be equal to 2 mA at steady state.

  • Current and Voltage Relationships

    What is the expression for the voltage on the capacitor? Problem 3. The same current i(t) = 4 cos (wt), at the frequency of 1 MHz, is flowing through 1nH inductor. What is the expression for the voltage across the inductor?

  • Growth of Current in Inductor: V-t plot given, I calculated

    70303 Growth of Current in Inductor: V-T Plot The voltage across an inductor plotted as a function of time is shown in Figure (see attached file). If L = 0.75 mH, determine the current through the inductor at t = 15 mu s. Please see the attachment.

  • Physics: What does the applet suggest about an electric current?

    During this discharge the current through the inductor increases and becomes maximum when the charge on the capacitor is zero.

  • Behavior of an inductor when connected to a battery

    After a long time the current is 6.45 mA. What is a) The resistance R of the inductor? b) The inductance L of the inductor?
