Direction: Solve the following problems with a complete and logical solution and then BOX your
final answer. Round off your final answer to the nearest 4 decimal places. Any form of CHEATING
will be given a grade of 5.0.
1. The current in a coil decays as follows; when t=0.002 s, the current is 10 mA,
when t=0.006 s , the current drops to 4 mA. What is the time constant of the
coil?
2. A time of 10 s is required for the current on a series RL DC circuit to reach
90% of its final steady state value. Assume at t=0, i=0. What is the time
constant in seconds for the circuit?
3. A series RC circuit consist of R= 2M ohms and an uncharged capacitor C=
5F. The circuit is connected across a 100V DC source at t=0. What is the
initial rate of change of voltage across the resistor?
4. A circuit whose resistance is 20 ohms and inductance of 10H has a steady
voltage of 100V suddenly applied to it. For the instant 0.5S s after the voltage
is applied, determine the total power input to the circuit.
5. A resistance R and a 4F capacitor are connected in series across a 200V DC
supply. Across the capacitor is a neon lamp that glows at 120V. Calculate the
value of R to make the lamp glow after 5 seconds the switch is closed.
6. When a capacitor charged to voltage of 400V, is connected to a voltmeter
having the resistance of 25M ohms, the voltmeter reading is observed to
have fallen to 50V at the end of an interval of 2 minutes. Find the value of the
capacitor.
7. A100F capacitor charged to 24V is connected with a 200F uncharged
capacitor, a 1k ohms resistor and a switch. What is the current 0.1 second
after the switch is closed?
8. A coil having a resistance of 10 ohms and inductance of 10H is connected in
series with a 15 ohms resistor. A 200V DC source is connected to the circuit
at t=0. Determine the voltage across the coil at t=0.05 second.
9. Three inductances 0.6 mH, 0.12 mH and L mH are connected in parallel. Find
L for the equivalent reactance to be maximum. What is the maximum value
of the inductance?
10.A 100 F capacitor is charged to 100V. It is then connected to a 400 F. How
much the energy is dissipated in the connecting leads?
