A coil of inductance 8.4 mH and resistance $ 6 \Omega$ is connected
to a 12 V battery. The current in the coil is 1A at
approximately the time
- 500 s
- 20 s
- 35 ms
- 1 ms
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
[Growth of current in L-R circuit]
i = $ i_0 \, (1 - e^{ - t / \pi L} )$ $ \hspace20mm$ ...( i)
where $ i_0 = \frac{V}{ R} = \frac{12}{ 6 } = 2 A $
and $ T_L = \frac{L}{R} = \frac{ 8.4 \times 10^{ - 3 }}{ 6 } $
= 1.4 $ \times 10^{ - 3} $ s
and i = 1 A $ \hspace20mm$ (given)
t = ?
Substituting these values in E (i), we get
t = 0.97 $ \times 10^{ - 3 } $ s
or t = 0.97 ms
t = 1 ms.

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____

Concepts Used:
Alternating Current
An alternating current can be defined as a current that changes its magnitude and polarity at regular intervals of time. It can also be defined as an electrical current that repeatedly changes or reverses its direction opposite to that of Direct Current or DC which always flows in a single direction as shown below.
Alternating Current Production
Alternating current can be produced or generated by using devices that are known as alternators. However, alternating current can also be produced by different methods where many circuits are used. One of the most common or simple ways of generating AC is by using a basic single coil AC generator which consists of two-pole magnets and a single loop of wire having a rectangular shape.
Application of Alternating Current
AC is the form of current that are mostly used in different appliances. Some of the examples of alternating current include audio signal, radio signal, etc. An alternating current has a wide advantage over DC as AC is able to transmit power over large distances without great loss of energy.
