Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 180 Ω
  • L = 22 mH

For the RL circuit, the source has been at an initial voltage value of Vi = 21 V for a long time.
At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly drops to Vf = 5 V.

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