NEET · Physics · STD 12 -7. Alternating current

Figure shows a circuit that contains three identical resistors with resistance \(R = 9.0 \,\,\Omega\) each, two identical inductors with inductance \(L = 2.0\, mH\) each, and an ideal battery with \(emf\,\, = 18 \,\,V.\) The current \(i\) through the battery just after the switch closed is

  1. A \(0.2\;A\)
  2. B \(4.0\;A\)
  3. C \(0\;A\)
  4. D \(2\;mA\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.0\;A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At time, \(t=0\) i.e., when switch is closed, inductor in the circuit provides very high resistance (open circuit) while capacitor starts charging with maximum current (low resistance). Equivalent circuit of the given circuit
