    Reaches a value equal to about $37\%$ of its final value
  • B
    Reaches a value equal to about $63\%$ of its final value
  • C
    Attains a constant value
  • D

In the circuits $(a)$ and $(b)$,switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ are closed at $t = 0$ and are kept closed for a long time. The variations of current in the two circuits for $t \ge 0$ are roughly shown by which figure? (Figures are schematic and not drawn to scale.)

$A$ coil of inductance $1\, H$ and resistance $10\, \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $emf$ $50\, V$ and negligible internal resistance at time $t = 0.$ The ratio of the rate at which magnetic energy is stored in the coil to the rate at which energy is supplied by the battery at $t = 0.1\, s$ is:

Inductance of a coil with $10^4$ turns is $10 \text{ mH}$ and it is connected to a $DC$ source of $10 \text{ V}$ with internal resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. The energy density in the inductor when the current reaches $(1/e)$ of its maximum value is $\alpha \pi \times (1/e^2) \text{ J/m}^3$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . . $(\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ Tm/A})$.
