Correct option is C. 2ln2
L(dI/dt) = I²R
L(dI/dt) = I²R
For L=20H and R=10Ω
20(dI/dt) = 10I²
Let I = I₀e⁻ᵗ/τ where τ = L/R = 20/10 = 2s
dI/dt = (-I₀/2)e⁻ᵗ/²
Substituting in the equation above, we get:
20(-I₀/2)e⁻ᵗ/² = 10(I₀e⁻ᵗ/²)²
-10e⁻ᵗ/² = 10I₀e⁻ᵗ
-e⁻ᵗ/² = I₀e⁻ᵗ
-1 = I₀e⁻ᵗ/²
Since current can't be negative. Let's take the absolute value
1 = I₀e⁻ᵗ/²
At t=0, I₀ = 1A
1 = e⁻ᵗ/²
Taking natural log on both sides
0 = -t/2
t = 0
Let's consider the energy equations:
Rate of dissipation of energy across resistance = I²R
Rate of change of magnetic energy stored in the inductor = L(dI/dt)(I)
Equating both, we get:
I²R = L(dI/dt)I
IR = L(dI/dt)
In LR circuit, I = I₀(1 - e⁻ᵗ/τ)
Where I₀ = E/R and τ = L/R
Assuming I₀ = 1A
I = (1 - e⁻ᵗ/²)
dI/dt = (1/2)e⁻ᵗ/²
Substituting into IR = L(dI/dt)
(1 - e⁻ᵗ/²)(10) = 20(1/2)e⁻ᵗ/²
10 - 10e⁻ᵗ/² = 10e⁻ᵗ/²
10 = 20e⁻ᵗ/²
1/2 = e⁻ᵗ/²
Taking natural log on both sides:
ln(1/2) = -t/2
-ln2 = -t/2
t = 2ln2
