Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 390 Ω
  • L = 4.7 mH

For the RL circuit, the source has been at an initial current value of Ii = 2.1 mA for a long time.
At t = 0, the source current abruptly drops to If = 0 A.

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

Calculate the inductor current and voltage at t = 36.15 μs.
