A circuit containing capacitors C1 and C2 as shown in the figure are in steady state with key K1 closed and K2 is opened. At the instant t = 0, if K1 is opened and K2 is closed then the maximum current in the circuit will be :
 

 

a
1 A
b
12A
c
2A
d
32A

detailed solution

Correct option is A

When switch K1 is opened and K2 is closed it becomes L–C              circuit          so                     applying               energy conservation :Voltage across 2μf=10V∴12CV2=12Li2i=max  current  across  inductor=2×10−6×102=0.2×10−3×i2210=0.2 i2i=1 A

Two different coils have self-inductances L1 = 8 mH, L2 =2 mH. The current in one coil is increased at aconstant rate. The current in the second coil is also increased at the same rate. At a certain instant of time, the power given to the two coils is the same. At that time the current, the induced voltage and the energy stored in the first coil are i1 V1and W1 respectively. Corresponding value for the second coil at the same instant are i2, V2 and W2 respectively. Then
