Question 1 Explanation: 
For 0 \lt t \lt 2s current varies linearly with time and given as i(t)=3t and for 2s \lt t \lt 4s current is constant, i(t)=6A.
The energy absorbed by the inductor (Resistance neglected) in the first 2 sec,
E_L=\int_{0}^{T}Li\frac{di}{dt}=E_{L_1}+E_{L_2}
E_{L_1}=\int_{0}^{2}Li \left (\frac{di}{dt} \right )dt
\;\;=\int_{0}^{2} 2 \times 3t \times 3\; dt
\;\;=18\int_{0}^{2}t\; dt
\;\;=18 \times \left.\begin{matrix} \frac{t^2}{2} \end{matrix}\right|^2_0
\;\;= 18 \times \left [ \frac{4}{2}-0 \right ]=36J
The energy absorbed by the inductor in (2\rightarrow 4) second
E_{L_2}=\int_{2}^{4}Li\left ( \frac{di}{dt}dt \right )
\;\;=\frac{2}{4}2 \times 6 \times 0 \;dt=0 J
A pure indictor does not dissipate enegy but only stores it. Due to resistance, some energy is dissipated in the resistor. Therefore, total energy stored in the inductor and the energy dissipated in the resistor.
The energy dissipated by the resistance in 4 sec.
E_R=\int_{0}^{T}i^2 R\;dt
\;\;=\int_{0}^{2}(3t)^2 \times 1 \;dt+\int_{2}^{4}6^2 \times 1 \; dt
\;\;=9\int_{0}^{2}t^2\;dt +36\int_{2}^{4}1 \; dt
\;\;=9 \times \left.\begin{matrix} \frac{t^3}{3} \end{matrix}\right|_0^2+36t|_2^4
\;\;=9 \times \left ( \frac{8}{3} \right )+36 \times 2
\;\;=24+72=96J
The total energy absorbed by the inductor in 4 sec
=96 J +36 J =132 J
Question 2
A segment of a circuit is shown in figure. V_{R} = 5V, V_{C} = 4 \sin 2t. The voltage V_{L} is given by
A
3-8 \cos 2t
B
32 \sin 2t
C

D

Question 2 Explanation: 
By KCL,
I_P+I_Q+I_C+I_L=0
2+2+I_C+I_L=0
But, I_C=C \times \frac{dv}{dt}
\;\; =1 \times \frac{d}{dt}(4 \sin 2t)
\;\;=(8 \cos 2t)
\therefore \;\; I_L=-(2+1+8 \cos 2t)
\;\; \;\;=-3-8 \cos 2t
\therefore \;\; V_L=L\left ( \frac{di}{dt} \right )
\;\;\;=2 \times 2 \times 8 \sin 2t
\;\;\;=32 \sin 2t
NOTE: KCL is based on the law of conservation of charges.

Z_{1}=10\angle -60 ^{\circ} , Z_{2}=10\angle 60^{\circ} , Z_{3}=50\angle 53.13^{\circ}.
The venin impedance seen form X-Y is
A
56.66\angle 45^{\circ}
B

Question 3 Explanation: 
By Thevenin's theorem

Z_{Th}=Z_{X-Y}=Z_1||Z_2+Z_3
\;\;=\frac{Z_1 \times Z_2}{Z_1+Z_2}+Z_3
\;\;=\frac{10\angle -60 \times 10\angle 60}{10\angle -60 + 10\angle 60}+50\angle 53.13
\;\;=56.66\angle 45^{\circ}\Omega

Question 4 Explanation: 
\bar{H}=\bar{H_1}+\bar{H_2}=\frac{I}{2 \pi d}\vec{y}+\frac{I}{2 \pi d}\vec{y}=\frac{I}{ \pi d}\vec{y}

Question 5
Two infinite strips of width w m in x -direction as shown in figure, are carrying forward and return currents of +I and -I in the z - direction. The strips are separated by distance of x m. The inductance per unit length of the configuration is measured to be L H/m. If the distance of separation between the strips in snow reduced to x/2 m, the inductance per unit length of the configuration is
A
2L H/m
B
L/4 H/m
C
L/2 H/m
D
4L H/m

Question 5 Explanation: 
Inductance is proportional to separation between the strips so when separation is reduced to x/2 then inductance will become L/2 H/m.
