R1 = 47 kΩ

E = 8V C = 2 µF

i. τ = RC
= 47*103Ω * 2 µF
= 94* 10-3 Seconds = 94 ms

ii. V = Vc*(1-e-t/τ)

When t = 3 τ; V = 8*(1-e-3) V
= 7.601 V

When t = 5 τ; V = 8*(1-e-5) V
= 7.946 V

When t = 100 s V = 8*(1-e100/0.094) V

=8V

When t = 5 τ; capacitor is almost fully charged

Therefore, total time take to fully charge the capacitor = 5 τ
= 5* 94 ms
= 470 ms

b. initially when the inductor has no magnetic field, the current through the circuit will be zero.
Therefore, at the beginning voltage across it is high. But when the magnetic field in the inductor
increasing, the current starts to flow through the circuit. Once it fully charged, it will pass the all the
current through the circuit without holding a voltage across the inductor. Therefore, voltage is zero once
it fully charged.

 c. transient region period = 0.05002 – 0.05 seconds = 0.00002 seconds = 0.02 ms

d. 0.1mH Garph

0.1 mH Time takes to demagnetized: 0.000005 s: 5µs

5 µH Time takes to demagnetized: 00000003s: 30 ns

33 mH Time takes to demagnetized: 0.0002s: 0.2 ms

100mH Graph

100mH Time takes to demagnetized: 0.0006s: 0.6 ms

When inductor value is decreasing, time to steady state is decreasing. And when the inductor
value is increasing, time to steady state (To fully magnetized) is also increasing.
Transient region is also reacted to the change of inductor value as same as the time take to fully
magnetized.
