Question

Please answer all

The zombies showed up while you were sleeping!  The zombie alarm you built goes off as they open the 
door.  You jolt awake to see an alpha-zombie charging through the door.  The alphas are zombies that 
turned all of the zombies in its army.  If you can take down this one zombie, all the others pouring into 
the room should fall as well.  Luckily, your group was prepared for this eventuality.  Another member of 
your team has constructed the zombie shocker circuit shown in Figure 5, using some batteries for the 
voltage source, some rusty metal for the resistors and a coil of wire for the inductor.  The switch is just 
you pulling apart two wires to open the circuit (while holding them by their insulated sheaths).  

1. Construct the circuit shown in Figure 15 in the Circuit JS simulator.   
2. Start the simulation with switch SW1 in the closed position.  You’ve been charging this circuit all night, 
so you’ll want to let the circuit run for a while (roughly 30 seconds at max simulation speed) to reach 
true steady-state.  You can speed this process up by changing the “simulation speed” slider in the top 
right of the screen.  
3. In a “Scope”, display voltage across L1: 
3.1. Make sure to “Show Scale”, “Show Peak Value” and “Show Negative Peak Value” for the trace 
(available under “gear” at bottom left of the scope window).    
3.2. Suggest setting “time step” to 50 ns (available under “Options | Other Options…”). 
4. Capture in the scope the inductor voltage when switch SW1 is opened.  Include a screen shot. 
5. Answer the following questions: 
a) What is the largest negative voltage across the inductor? 
b) How can it be this value when the DC supply is only 10 V?
