Acircuit contains a battery, a switch, an inductor, and a resistor connected in series. initially, the switch is open.

at which of the following times does the energy stored in the inductor have the largest value?

a) before the switch is closed

b) immediately after the switch is closed

c) a long time after the switch is closed

d) none of the above

a long time after the switch is closed

Explanation:

Energy stored in an inductor is given by

E = 1/2 L i²

A). Before the switch is closed the current in the circuit is zero so energy in inductor will be zero.

B). Inductor opposes the flow of current. It takes some time for current to reach its maximum value. So immedialtly after closing the switch the current  and energy in inductor will still be zero.

C). After closing the switch it takes some time for current to reach its maximum value as inductor opposes the flow of current. so after a long time the current in inductor will reach its maximum value and hence the energy stored will be maximum.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
