Hello
I have the following calculations to do.
An inductor of 10H and 25 ohm resistance is connected in series with a 75 ohm resistor and Vs=240 V DC.
1. the time for current to develop maximum current.
so what I did is that:
Max current is I= V/R= 240/(25+75)= 2.4 A
And time constant T= 0.1 s
i=I(1-e^(-t/τ) )
2.4=2.4(1-e^(-t/0.1) )
1=1-e^(-t/0.1)
0= e^(-t/0.1)
and now I cannot take natural log to find t. What is wrong? In simulation in Multisim it goes up to 2.4 eventually.
2. calculate the initial rate of change of current
Now idea what it is about so far.3. Time when current reaches 1.5 A
1.5=2.4(1-e^(-t/0.1) )
0.625=(1-e^(-t/0.1) )
0.375=e^(-t/0.1), and taking natural log of both ides we have
-0.9808=-t/0.1
t= 98.08ms
But in Multisim it shows it should be 98.6 so, is my calculation right? All components have 0 % tolerance etc. so I would assume it should be more accuret to what I calculated.
Any help is welcome
