A current of 5A is flowing through a 0.5 H inductor. If the current starts increasing at a rate of 2 A/S, power consumption by the inductor will be
5 W
7.5 W
2.5 W
0.5 W
(1)
Induced emf
ε=L didt=0.5 × 2 volt=1 voltand thus emf opposes the growth of current.∴ power consumed by the inductor = 1 × 5 W=5 watt.
