Introduction
Goals
• Measure the inductive time constant (τRL).
• Understand the inductive reactance (XL).
• Understand the phase shift between current andpotential difference.
Theoretical Backgrounds
1. Potential Difference
(a) Faraday’s law of induction states that the emfof a circuit is generated by
E = −dΦB
dt,
if the magnetic field flux,
ΦB =
∫B · dA,
varies with time.
(b) The inductance L is constant if the geometricstructure of an inductor is stationary. In thatcase, L = ΦB/I.
(c) The potential difference vL between the twoterminals of an inductor of inductance L is
VL = Ldi(t)
dt.
2. Inductance
Consider a solenoid of length `, cross sectional areaA, and the number of turns N .
(a) Ampere’s law can be used to compute the fluxpassing through the solenoid as
ΦB = µ0NIA
`,
where I is the current and µ0 is thepermeability of vacuum.
(b) The inductance is given by
L = µ0N2A
`.
(c) It is straightforward to derive the formula forthe equivalent inductance for a serialconnection of N inductors Li’s:
L =
N∑i=1
Li.
(d) The equivalent inductance for a parallelconnection of N inductors Li’s is:
1
L=
N∑i=1
1
Li.
3. Kirchhoff’s Rule
The algebraic sum of the changes in potentialduring a travel over a closed loop vanishes. Theformula is
N∑i=1
∆Vi = 0,
where i indicates each circuit element on thatclosed path.
4. RL circuit with a square wave input
(a) The potential equation is
vL + vR = E ,
where E is the potential difference betweenthe two terminals of the battery.
(b) This is the first-order linear differentialequation:
Ldi
dt+Ri = E .
(c) If I(t = 0) = 0, then
vL(t) = Ldi
dt= E e−t/τRL ,
vR(t) = Ri = E (1 − e−t/τRL ),
where τRL is the time constant,
τRL =L
R.

(d) If I(0) = I0 [dIdt (t = 0) = 0] and we set E = 0at t = 0, then
vL(t) = LdI
dt= −RI0e−t/τRL ,
vR(t) = RI = RI0e−t/τ
RL .
5. RL circuit with a sine wave input
(a) This is the first-order linear differentialequation with a sine wave input:
vR + vL = Ri+ Ldi
dt= Em sinωdt,
where ωd (Em) is the frequency (amplitude) ofthe sine wave input.
(b) The current i(t) of the circuit is
i(t) =EmZ
sin(ωdt− φ),
where Z is
Z =√R2 +X2
L,
XL is the inductive reactance
XL = ωdL,
and φ is the phase constant
φ = arctanXL
R.
(c) The potential difference vR(t) of R is
vR(t) = i(t)R
=EmR
Zsin(ωdt− φ).
The phase of i(t) and that of vR(t) are inphase.
(d) The potential difference vL(t) of L is
vL(t) = Ldi(t)
dt
=LωdEmZ
cos(ωdt− φ)
=LωdEmZ
sin(ωdt− φ+π
2).
The phase of vL(t) leads that of i(t) by π2 , or
the phase of i(t) lags that of vL(t) by π2 .
(e) The phase of vL(t) leads that of vR(t) by π2 ,
or the phase of vR(t) lags that of vL(t) by π2 .
