The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding an R-L series circuit where the current (I) is constant, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circuit**: In an R-L series circuit, a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) are connected in series with a voltage supply. When the current is constant, it means that the circuit has reached a steady state. 2. **Voltage Across the Resistor (R)**: According to Ohm's Law, the voltage across the resistor (V_R) can be calculated as: \[ V_R = I \cdot R \] Since the current (I) is constant, this statement is **correct**. 3. **Voltage Across the Inductor (L)**: The voltage across the inductor (V_L) in a series circuit is given by: \[ V_L = L \frac{dI}{dt} \] However, since the current is constant, \(\frac{dI}{dt} = 0\). Therefore, the voltage across the inductor is: \[ V_L = L \cdot 0 = 0 \] This means that the voltage across the inductor is not equal to the voltage across the resistor. Hence, the statement that "L is equal to voltage across R" is **incorrect**. 4. **Total Supply Voltage**: The total supply voltage (V_s) in the circuit is the sum of the voltages across the resistor and the inductor: \[ V_s = V_R + V_L \] Since \(V_L = 0\) when the current is constant, we have: \[ V_s = V_R = I \cdot R \] Therefore, the supply voltage is equal to the voltage across the resistor. 5. **Magnetic Energy Stored in the Inductor**: The magnetic energy (U) stored in an inductor is given by the formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} L I^2 \] This statement is **correct** as it represents the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor when current I flows through it. ### Summary of Statements: - **Statement 1**: Voltage across resistance R is correct (True). - **Statement 2**: L is equal to voltage across R is incorrect (False). - **Statement 3**: Voltage across L is equal to supply voltage is incorrect (False). - **Statement 4**: The magnetic energy stored in the inductor is \(\frac{1}{2} L I^2\) is correct (True). ### Final Answers: The correct statements are 1 and 4. ---
