Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 680 Ω
  • L = 3.3 H
  • VS = 20 V

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.
