Q. An LR circuit is hooked up to a battery as shown in the figure, with the switch initially open. The resistance in the circuit is R=120Ω, the inductance is L=4.10H, and the battery maintains a voltage of E=49V. At time t=0 the switch is closed.
Q. What is the maximum speed at which transverse wave pulses can propagate along this wire without exceeding this stress? (The density of steel is 7.86 ´103 km/m3.)´ 109 Pa. The elastic limit of a piece of steel wire is equal to 2.7.
