berkeman - The equation is I(t) = Vc/R * (1-e^(-t*L/R)). Using the equation, I understand that the current becomes infinity (or indeterminate) when R=0. However, I am trying to understand what physically is happening. If R=0, does a magnetic field still form when current flows through an...

If an ideal inductor is connected directly (no resistor present) to a DC voltage source, why does it behave like a short-circuit at time t=0? If voltage across an inductor is related to the change in current (i.e. di/dt), then shouldn't the voltage across the inductor be very large at time t=0...
