• Start with loop rule:dtdILIR +=ε
• From this equation, we can identify PL, the rate at which energy is being stored in the inductor:

Inductors in CircuitsGeneral rule: inductors
resist change in current:
ε = - L di/dt
• Hooked to current source
– Initially, the inductor behaves like an open switch.
– After a long time, the inductor behaves like an ideal wire.
• Disconnected from current source
– Initially, the inductor behaves like a current source.
– After a long time, the inductor behaves like an open switch.

• A long time after the switch is thrown, the current approaches an asymptotic value: as t → ∞, dI/dt → 0.
• As dI/dt → 0, the voltage across the inductor → 0. Therefore,I∞ = ε/2R.
• At t=0 the switch is thrown from positionb to position a in the circuit shown: –What is the value of the current I∞ a

• Just after the switch is thrown, the rate of change of current is as large as it can be (we had been assuming it was ∞!)
• The inductor limits dI/dt to be initially equal to ε/L. The voltage across the inductor = ε; the current, then, must be 0!
• Another way: the moment the switch is thrown, the current tries to generate a huge B-field. There is a huge change in flux through coil—an emf is generated to oppose this. Initially, then, no current flows through no voltage drop across the resistors.

• Just after the switch is thrown, the inductor induces an emf to keep current flowing: emf = L dI/dt (can be much larger than ε)
• However, now there’s no place for the current to go charges build up on switch contacts high voltage across switch gap
•If the electric field exceeds the “dielectric strength”(~30 kV/cm in air) breakdown SPARK!
This phenomenon is used in “flyback generators” to create high voltages; it also destroys lots of electronic equipment!

7) At t = 10 hrs the switch is opened, abruptly disconnecting the battery from the circuit. What will happen to all the energy stored in the solenoid?
Preflight 17:
Energy stored in the inductor: U = 1/2 L I2
An inductor doesn’t like change!!!
When the switch is opened, this energy is dissipated in the resistor.
When the switch is opened, the inductor will try to maintain the current that was flowing through it before the switch is opened. Since the battery is disconnected from the circuit, the energy which is necessary to keep current flowing through the resistor is provided by theinductor.
