Q.

An inductor of inductance 10 mH having resistance of 100 Ω is connected to battery of E.M.F. 1.0 V through a switch as shown in the figure below. After switch is closed, the ratio of instantaneous voltages across the inductor when the current passing through it is 2 mA and 4 mA is ______.            [2026]

1 43  
2 34  
3 53  
4 35

Apply KVL: E-iR-VL=0

VL=E-iR=1-100i

At i1=2×10-3 A,  VL1=0.8 V

At i2=4×10-3 A,  VL2=0.6 V

⇒VL1VL2=43
