Expert-verifiedCamera flashes charge a capacitor to high voltage by switching the current through an inductor on and off rapidly. In what time must the \(0.100{\rm{ }}A\) current through a \(2.00{\rm{ }}mH\) inductor be switched on or off to induce a \(500{\rm{ }}V\) emf?
In \(\Delta t = 4 \cdot {10^{ - 4}}{\rm{ }}ms\) the \(0.100{\rm{ }}A\) current through a \(2.00{\rm{ }}mH\) inductor must be switched on or off to induce a \(500{\rm{ }}V\) emf.
A current produced by the creation of voltage (electromotive force) in the presence of a shifting magnetic field is known as electromagnetic induction.
This happens when a conductor is placed in a magnetic field that is moving (using an AC power source) or when a conductor is continuously moving in a magnetic field that is stationary
The absolute value of the electromotive force produced when an inductor's current varies is given by –
\(\varepsilon = M\frac{{\Delta I}}{{\Delta t}}\)
It will take a certain amount of time for a certain current shift to occur in a certain inductance in order to generate a certain electromotive force –
\(\Delta t = \frac{{M\Delta I}}{\varepsilon }\)
After substituting the values –
\(\begin{align}{}\Delta t &= \frac{{0.002 \cdot 0.1}}{{500}}\\ &= 4 \cdot {10^{ - 7}}{\rm{ }}s\\ &= 4 \cdot {10^{ - 7}} \times 1000{\rm{ }}s\\ &= 4 \cdot {10^{ - 4}}{\rm{ }}ms\end{align}\)
Therefore, the value for time is obtained as \(\Delta t = 4 \cdot {10^{ - 4}}{\rm{ }}ms\).
