Superposition is the Key

A series R L RL circuit is excited by an AC voltage source with angular frequency ω = 2 π T \omega = \frac{2 \pi}{T} . The resistance and inductance values are such that ω L R > 10 \frac{\omega L}{R} > 10 . The source voltage expression is V ( t ) = 100 sin ( ω t ) V(t) = 100 \sin(\omega t) . There is a switch in series with the resistor and inductor. Prior to switch closing, the inductor current is zero. The switch closes at time t = 0 t = 0 .

Q = 0 N T I ( t ) d t Q = \int_0^{N T} I(t) \, dt

The quantity Q Q is defined as above, where I ( t ) I(t) is the instantaneous current in the circuit (flowing from source to load), and N N is a positive integer (greater than zero).

Which statement is correct?

Hints:

  1. At t = 0 t = 0 , what is the AC (sinusoidal) portion of the current doing?
  2. At t = 0 t = 0 , what is the current through the inductor?
Q = 0 Q = 0 Q > 0 Q > 0 Q < 0 Q < 0
