Emerging infectious diseases : aids & brazilian purpuric fever (i. e. , new diseases, hantaan virus [which spread beyond asia as a result of ecological and economic transformations increasing the contact btw humans and rodents], Lyme disease , hemorrhagic fevers (i. e. , old diseases that have somehow changed, either in pathogenicity or distribution: multidrug-resistant tb and group a streptococcal infection ( flesh eating bacteria ) even in cases of microbial mutations, we often find signs that human actions have played a large role in enhancing pathogenicity or increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents. of all emerging viral infections, only the emergence of rift valley fever is attributed to a possible change in virulence/pathogenicity. malaria is known as a tropical disease but not too long ago, malaria was a significant problem far from the tropics (e. g. , us: tropical medicine implies a geographic rather than a social topography.

In a circuit containing only resistors, the basic (though notnecessarily explicit) assumption is that the current reaches itssteady-state value instantly. This is not the case for a circuitcontaining inductors. Due to a fundamental property of an inductorto mitigate any "externally imposed" change in current, the currentin such a circuit changes gradually when a switch is closed oropened.
Consider a series circuit containing a resistor of resistance andan inductor of inductance connected to a source of emf andnegligible internal resistance. The wires (including the ones thatmake up the inductor) are also assumed to have negligibleresistance.
Let us start by analyzing the process that takes place after switchis closed (switch remains open). In our further analysis, lowercaseletters will denote the instantaneous values of various quantities,whereas capital letters will denote the maximum values of therespective quantities.
Note that at any time during the process, Kirchhoff's loop ruleholds and is, indeed, helpful:

ANSWER:

zero
Answer not displayed
Part D
Shortly after the switch is closed, what is the direction of thecurrent in the circuit?
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
There is no current because the inductor does not allow the currentto increase from its initial zero value.
Answer not displayed
Part E
Shortly after the switch is closed, what is the direction of theinduced EMF in the inductor?
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
There is no induced EMF because the initial value of the current iszero.

Part I
Now that we have a feel for the state of the circuit in its steadystate, let us obtain the expression for the current in the circuitas a function of time. Note that we can use the loop rule (goingaround counterclockwise):
.
Note as well that and . Using these equations, we can get, aftersome rearranging of the variables and making the subsitution,
.
Integrating both sides of this equation yields
.
Use this last expression to obtain an expression for . Rememberthat and that .

Part J
Just as in the case of R-C circuits, the steady state here is neveractually reached: The exponential functions approach their limitsasymptotically as . However, it usually does not take very long forthe value of to get very close to its presumed limiting value. Thenext several questions illustrate this point.
Note that the quantity has dimensions of time and is called thetime constant (you may recall similar terminology applied to R-Ccircuits). The time constant is often denoted by . Using , one canwrite the expression

Now consider a different situation. After switch has been closedfor a long time, it is opened; simultaneously, switch is closed, asshown in the figure. This effectively removes the battery from thecircuit.
The questions below refer to the time immediately after switch isopened and switch is closed.
Part O
What is the direction of the current in the circuit?
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
The current is zero because there is no EMF in the circuit.
Answer not displayed
Part P
What is happening to the magnitude of the current?
ANSWER:
The current is increasing.
The current is decreasing.
The current remains constant.
Answer not displayed
Part Q
What is the direction of the EMF in the inductor?
ANSWER:
clockwise
counterclockwise
The EMF is zero because the current is zero.
The EMF is zero because the current is constant.
Answer not displayed
Part R
Which end of the inductor has higher voltage (i.e., to which end ofthe inductor should the positive terminal of a voltmeter beconnected in order to yield a positive reading)?
Hint R.1
How to approach the problem
Hint not displayed
ANSWER:

right
The potentials of both ends are the same.
