Two different coils have self-inductances `L_(1) = 8 mH and L_(2) = 2 mH`. The current in one coil is increased at a constant rate. The current in the second coil is also increased at the same constant rate. At a certain instant of time, the power given to the two coil is the same. At that time, the current, the induced voltage and the energy stored in the first coil are `i_(1), V_(1) and W_(1)` respectively. Corresponding values for the second coil at the same instant are `i_(2), V_(2) and W_(2)` respectively. Then:

Options

A. `(i_(1))/(i_(2))=(1)/(4)`
B. `(i_(1))/(i_(2))=48`
C. `(W_(2))/(W_(1))=4`
D. `(V_(2))/(V_(1))=(1)/(4)`

Answer

B

Explanation

From Faraday.s Law, the induced voltage `V prop L` rate of change of current is constant `(V=-L(di)/(dt))`
`therefore (V_(2))/(V_(1))=(L_(2))/(L_(1))=(2)/(8)=(1)/(4)rArr (V_(1))/(V_(2))=4`
Power given to the two coils is same, i.e.,
`V_(1)i_(1)=V_(2)i_(2)rArr (I_(1))/(I_(2))=(V_(2))/(V_(1))=(1)/(4)`
Energy stored `W=(1)/(2)Li^(2)`
`rArr (W_(2))/(W_(1))=((L_(2))/(L_(1)))((i_(2))/(i_(1)))=((1)/(4))(4)^(2)=4rArr (W_(2))/(W_(1))=4`
