Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 39 Ω
  • L = 33 mH
  • IS = 0.12 A

For the RL circuit, the switch has been open for a long time, and it closes abruptly at t = 0.
Prior to the switch closing the inductor current was zero.

Determine the expression for the inductor current as a function of time, for t > 0.

Calculate the inductor current and voltage at t = 3.808 ms.
