    Study Notes

    RL Circuit Analysis

    • A circuit consisting of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and voltage source (E) is being analyzed.
    • The circuit is connected using a switch, allowing for the opening and closing of the circuit.

    Differential Equation Governing Current Establishment

    • The differential equation governing the current (i(t)) in the RL circuit is established.
    • The equation is a first-order linear differential equation that describes the behavior of the current over time.

    Solution Form

    • The solution to the differential equation is of the form i(t) = A + Be^(-at).
    • A and B are constants, and 'a' depends on the circuit parameters (R, L, and r).

    Maximum Current

    • The maximum current (I) in the circuit is determined.
    • The maximum current is the steady-state value reached after a long time when the inductor acts as a short circuit.

    Voltage Across the Coil

    • The voltage across the coil (UL(t)) is expressed in terms of the source voltage (E) and circuit parameters (R, L, and r).
    • The voltage across the coil decays exponentially with time, reaching a steady-state value.

    Voltage Across the Resistor

    • The voltage across the resistor (UR(t)) is expressed in terms of the source voltage (E) and circuit parameters (R, L, and r).
    • The voltage across the resistor increases exponentially with time, reaching a steady-state value.

    Energy Stored in the Coil

    • The energy stored in the coil is determined, both in literal and numerical form.
    • The energy stored reaches a maximum value in the steady state when the inductor acts as a short circuit.

    Oscilloscope Readings

    • The experiment involves using two oscilloscope channels to measure the voltage across the resistor (channel 1) and the voltage across the coil (channel 2).
    • The oscilloscope readings provide valuable information about the behavior of the voltage over time.

    Analysis of Voltage Across the Resistor

    • The voltage across the resistor (UR(t)) is represented by Curve 1 in the provided graph (Fig. 1).
    • This is confirmed by the shape of the curve, which reflects the exponential rise in voltage with time.

    Generator Voltage

    • The generator voltage (Uo) is determined by analyzing the steady-state value of the voltage across the resistor.
    • This value represents the voltage across the resistor when the inductor acts as a short circuit.

    Time Constant of RL Circuit

    • The time constant (τ) of the RL circuit is calculated by analyzing the slope of the exponential curve representing the voltage across the resistor.
    • The time constant represents the time it takes for the voltage across the resistor to reach approximately 63.2% of its final value.

    Steady-State Current in RL Circuit

    • The steady-state current (I) in the RL circuit is calculated using the values of generator voltage (Uo), resistor value (R), and internal resistance (r).
    • The steady-state current is the constant current flowing after a long time when the inductor behaves like a short circuit.

    Inductance of the Coil

    • The inductance (L) of the coil is calculated using the measured time constant (τ) and known values of resistor (R) and internal resistance (r).
    • The inductance represents the coil's ability to oppose changes in current.

    Internal Resistance of the Coil

    • The internal resistance (r) of the coil is calculated using the values of generator voltage (Uo), steady-state current (I), and resistor value (R).
    • The internal resistance represents the resistance within the coil itself.
