AB is a part of an electrical circuit (see figure). The potential difference "VA - VB", at the instant when current i = 2 A and is increasing at a rate of 1 amp/ second is: [figure]
- 9 volt
- 10 volt
- 5 volt
- 6 volt
Answer
(2) 10 volt
Solution
Going from A to B along the current:
Drop across the inductor: L didt = 1 1 = 1 V
Drop across the cell (from its positive plate on the left to its negative plate): 5 V
Drop across the resistor: iR = 2 2 = 4 V
VA - 1 - 5 - 4 = VB
VA - VB = 10 V
Answer: (2)
