I have been given the following equation:
v=240(1-e-Rt/L)
Where R=1ohm, L=200mH. Calculate the time(t) when the voltage(v) is expected to be 140V
I have already worked out the equation, which I will quickly explain below. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction of another method i can use to solve this equation.
The steps of the method I have used(missed some out on purpose):
(v/240)+e-(Rt/L) =1
e-(Rt/L) =1-(v/240)
Then using Napiers Law (lnAB=AlnB)
lne-(Rt/L)=ln(1-(v/240))
-(Rt/L)=ln(1-(v/240))
t=(-L/R)ln(1-(v/240))
After converting 200mH to 0.2H I was left with
t=(0.2/1)ln(1-(140/240))
which left me with an answer of 0.175 seconds.
Like I said, it isn't the answer I am after, I have been assured that is right by another tutor, but I am just looking for and hoping to work out another method for solving this equation.
