Initially, when the switch in a series RL circuit is closed, the inductor acts as?(a) Open circuit(b) Short circuit(c) Resistor(d) CapacitorThis question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Query is from Transients in LR Networks topic in section Inductance in a DC Circuit of Basic Electrical Engineering |

Answer» RIGHT answer is (a) Open circuit Explanation: Before switch is closed, current in INDUCTOR is zero. When the switch in a series RL circuit is closed, current in the inductor remains zero since current in inductor doesn’t change suddenly. So, the inductor acts as an open circuit. |
