VIRTUAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE BEHAVIOR OF L R CIRCUITS NAME PHY2424 Please go to the following webpage - construction-kit-ac Run the a lication and set u the followin circuit. Typically, an inductor is usually a coil of wire wrapped around a piece of iron. Yes, it's an electromagnet that we do not use for picking stuffup! l) By right clicking on the inductor, set it to 10 Henries (No, that really is the unit) 2) Ensure that both bulbs are 10 ohms 3) Close the switch. Describe your observations. 4) Describe in your own words what effect the inductor has on the current. 5) Now open the switch. Again, describe your observations. 6) Why do you think a current was able to flow after we effectively removed the battery from the circuit? A couple of things to consider. When the current through an inductor changes, Lenz's law gives us a clue as to how the inductor will act. a) The inductor will generate an EMF which opposes the change taking place. b) The size of the EMF will be proportional to the rate of change of current (Why?) c) The constant of proportionality depends on the geometry of the coils and is called the inductance L, measured in Dashboard Henries Calendar Notifications Inbox
