Answer:
Correct Answer: 60.(c)
Solution:
- Given circuit is a series $L-R$ circuit In an $L-R$ circuit, current increases as
$$ i=\frac{E}{R} 1-e^{\frac{-R}{L} t} $$
Now, energy stored in inductor is
$$ U _L=\frac{1}{2} L i^{2} $$
where, $L=$ self inductance of the coil and energy dissipated by resistor is
$$ U _R=i^{2} R $$
Given, rate of energy stored in inductor is equal to the rate of energy dissipation in resistor. So, after differentiating, we get
$$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & & i L \frac{d i}{d t}=i^{2} R & \Rightarrow \frac{d i}{d t}=\frac{R}{L} i \\ \Rightarrow & & \frac{E}{R} \cdot \frac{R}{L} e^{-\frac{R}{L} t} & =\frac{R}{L} \cdot \frac{E}{R} 1-e^{-\frac{R}{L} t} \\ \Rightarrow & & 2 e^{-\frac{R}{L} t} & =1 \\ \Rightarrow & & e^{-\frac{R}{L} t} & =\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} $$
Taking log on both sides, we have
$$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{-R}{L} t=\ln \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{R}{L} t=\ln 2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad t=\frac{L}{R} \ln 2=\frac{20}{10} \ln 2 \Rightarrow t=2 \ln 2 \end{aligned} $$
