Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R1 = 39 Ω
  • R2 = 18 Ω
  • R3 = 18 Ω
  • L = 2.2 mH

For the RL circuit, the source has been at an initial voltage value of Vi = 0 V for a long time.
At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly jumps to Vf = 16 V.

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