Read the RL-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R1 = 220 Ω
  • R2 = 100 Ω
  • R3 = 820 Ω
  • L = 68 mH

For the RL circuit, the source has been at an initial current value of I1 = 20 mA for a long time.
At t = 0, the source current abruptly jumps to I2 = 100 mA.

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