JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 18th March Evening Shift - No. 11)

The time taken for the magnetic energy to reach 25% of its maximum value, when a solenoid of resistance R, inductance L is connected to a battery, is :
infinite
$${L \over R}$$ ln10
$${L \over R}$$ ln2
$${L \over R}$$ ln5

Explanation

Magnetic energy, U = $${1 \over 2}$$LI$$_0^2$$

Given : U = 25% of U0.

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over 2}L{I^2} = {1 \over 4} \times {1 \over 2}LI_0^2$$

$$ \Rightarrow {I^2} = {{I_0^2} \over 4} \Rightarrow I = {{{I_0}} \over 2}$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$I = {I_0}(1 - {e^{ - t/\tau }})$$

$$ \Rightarrow {{{I_0}} \over 2} = {I_0}(1 - {e^{ - t/\tau }})$$

$$ \Rightarrow {1 \over 2} = {e^{ - t/\tau }}$$

$$ \Rightarrow {e^{t/\tau }} = 2$$

$$ \Rightarrow t = \tau \ln 2$$

$$ \Rightarrow t = {L \over R}\ln 2$$
