Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 270 Ω
  • L = 680 μH

For the RL circuit, the source has been at an initial current value of Ii = -100 μA for a long time.
At t = 0, the source current abruptly jumps to If = 1.5 mA.

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

Calculate the time when the inductor current will be equal to 0.967 mA and calculate the inductor voltage at that time.
