What factors affect the induced voltage in an induction circuit?

AI Thread Summary
Induced voltage in an induction circuit is influenced by the rate of change of current and the characteristics of the inductor. In a parallel R-L circuit, if the inductor in one branch opens, the voltage across that branch is expected to remain constant due to the voltage generator. However, without specific details or a diagram, it is difficult to determine the exact behavior of the circuit. Assuming a perfect inductor, the resistance would be zero, leading to theoretically infinite current and induced voltage. More information is needed for a definitive answer.

TL;DR Summary
In a 2 Branch parallel r l circuit what would the voltage across the branch 2 to do if the inductor in branch 2 opens?
I'm thinking it would stay the same. Any answers?

Do you have a diagram to help us figure out what you are asking about? Is this for schoolwork?
 
Assuming a voltage generator, the voltage stays the same irrespective of load.

The induced voltage across the L will depend on the rate of change of current. There's not enough information to know that unless you assume that the Inductor is perfect. If it is perfect then it resistance would be zero so the standing current would be infinite and the induced voltage would be infinite too.
So your circuit description doesn't give us a possible answer - a diagram may help resolve this.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
