Questions:
1) An RC circuit can be used to provide various time delays. Figure 7.73 shows such a circuit. It
basically consists of an RC circuit with the capacitor connected in parallel with a neon lamp.
The voltage source can provide enough voltage to fire the lamp. When the switch is closed,
the capacitor voltage increases gradually toward 110 V at a rate determined by the circuit’s
time constant, (R1 + R2)C. The lamp will act as an open circuit and not emit light until the
voltage across it exceeds a particular level, say 70 V. When the voltage level is reached, the
lamp fires (goes on), and the capacitor discharges through it. Due to the low resistance of the
lamp when on; the capacitor voltage drops fast and the lamp turns off. The lamp acts again as
an open circuit and the capacitor recharges.
By adjusting R2 we can introduce either short or long time delays into the circuit and make the
lamp fire, recharge, and fire repeatedly every time constant τ=(R1 + R2)C because it takes a time
period τ to get the capacitor voltage high enough to fire or low enough to turn off.
Consider the circuit in Figure, and assume that R1=1.5MΩ. and 0<R2<2.5MΩ
(i) Calculate the extreme limits of the time constant of the circuit. (ii) Find how long it
takes for the lamp to glow for the first time after the switch is closed.

2) A magnetically controlled switch is called a relay. A relay is essentially an
electromagnetic device used to open or close a switch that controls another circuit. Figure (a)
shows a typical relay circuit. The coil circuit is an RL circuit like that in Fig (b), where R and L
are the resistance and inductance of the coil. When switch in Figure (a) is closed, the coil circuit
is energized. The coil current gradually increases and produces a magnetic field. Eventually the
magnetic field is sufficiently strong to pull the movable contact in the other circuit and close
switch At this point, the relay is said to be pulled in. The time interval between the closure of
switches and is called the relay delay time.
The coil of a certain relay is operated by a 12-V battery. If the coil has
a resistance of and an inductance of 30 mH and the current needed to pull in is 50 mA,
calculate the relay delay time.
.
3) The automobile ignition system acts as a charging system that is only a part of the
system. Here, we consider another part—the voltage generating system. The system is
modeled by the circuit shown in Figure below. The 12-V source is due to the battery and
alternator. The 4Ω resistor represents the resistance of the wiring. The ignition coil is
modeled by the 8-mH inductor. The 1μF capacitor (known as the condenser to
automechanics) is in parallel with the switch (known as the breaking points or electronic
ignition).
Determine how the RLC circuit shown in Figure is used in generating high voltage.
Assuming that the switch in Figure is closed prior to t =0- s, find the inductor voltage vL
for t >0.
