Growth of Current in an Inductor Connected Across a Battery [duplicate]

When baterry is connected across inductor with no resistance in circuit, won't the current flowing through it be zero, as inductor back emf will counteract the effect of potential difference due to ...

Cannot catch a minus sign mistake when deriving the ODE for an LC circuit

It's probably a very basic question but I just cannot wrap my mind around it. I'll just try to derive the differential equation for an LC circuit: According to the law of induction, in a solenoid we ...

Why does this RLC behavior differ from what equations predict?

In order to better understand RLC behavior under current sources, I constructed the simple circuit below and attempted to analyze it. However, my equations do not agree with simulation results. The ...

Magnetic field in a capacitor in a $LC$ circuit

Consider a simple $LC$ circuit in which the charge on the capacitor varies sinusoidally. Current flows in this circuit, changing the charge on the capacitor and hence changing the electric field ...

If a loop is not complete, and magnetic field passing through it is changing; will their be emf induced in the loop?

In a setup like the one show in the figure: Will there be an induced EMF across the loop(given that the field is increasing)? (my dilemma is : since the loop is not complete, we cannot define the ...

How to measure voltage induced in coil due to an oscillating bar magnet using null method? [closed]

Here we're trying to measure the maximum emf induced in the coil using null method. I can understand what the book means by 'a kick'. I can't understand how this circuit works. For example, how is the ...

Polarity of induced EMF in an LC oscillator

The image given belongs to my textbook (NCERT Grade 12, Chapter-7, Alternating Current, Pg No 255): For your reference, this is the paragraph adjacent to the picture. I believe that the polarity of ...

Confusion regarding charge on capacitors

While I was studying about capacitors I realized that charge on the outer surface of the plates is zero when both the plates are given equal and opposite charges. Now mathematically, this realization ...

Area of reference to find magnetic field inside a (dis)charging capacitor

Faraday's law of induction can be expanded:$$V=-N\frac{d(BA)}{dt}$$ and for a circuit which creates an area between the wires if that area doesn't change then it becomes $$V=-N\frac{dB}{dt}A$$ The ...

How does current/component voltage phase difference calculated in pure circuits remain the same for mixed circuits?

In class, we derived the phase difference values between the component voltage and the circuit current for pure inductive and capacitive circuits. Later, while doing LR, RC, and LC circuits, we used ...

How to find voltage gradient using electrodes?

I have a capacitor, and between them I have an array of electrodes stacked orthogonal to the capacitor plates. The capacitor is running an AC current, and the electrodes are measuring voltage. What I ...

Inductor real charcaterstics when connected to an ac supply

When we connect a dc source to an inductor we always use a resistor there so after solving that RL D.C. circuit we find an exponential function (e to the power R/L based) But when we are considering A....

Voltage between parallel capacitor plates

We know that $C=q/U$. We know that the voltage is the potential difference between the plates. If we have a capacitor on which we apply voltage, the one plate charges up and induces the other one with ...

Amount of energy that can be stored from Faraday flashlight / linear alternator?

You'll have to forgive me if this question is either extremely elementary or does not make sense — I am a civil engineer with little E/M physics background beyond high school education. I am working ...
