The time taken for the magnetic energy to reach 25 % of its maximum value,

Question:

The time taken for the magnetic energy to reach $25 \%$ of its maximum value, when a solenoid of resistance $R$, inductance $L$ is connected to a battery, is :

  1. (1) $\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{R}} \ell \mathrm{n} 5$

  2. (2) infinite

  3. (3) $\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{R}} \ell \mathrm{n} 2$

  4. (4) $\frac{L}{R} \ell n 10$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

(3)

Magnetic energy $=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Li}^{2}=25 \%$

$\mathrm{ME} \Rightarrow 25 \% \Rightarrow \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{i}_{0}}{2}$

$\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{i}_{0}\left(1-\mathrm{R}^{-\mathrm{Rt} / \mathrm{L}}\right)$ for charging

$\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{R}} \ln 2$
