For the period before ##t=0##, during which the switch was closed we have $$-\epsilon_0+IR_1=-L\dot{I}\tag{1}$$ $$\dot{I}+\frac{R_1}{L}I=\frac{\epsilon_0}{L}\tag{2}$$ and the solution to this differential equation is $$I(t)=\frac{\epsilon_0}{R_1}+e^{-\frac{R_1}{L}t}\tag{3}$$ Thus...

Just from looking at this circuit, we would expect the positive current to flow in a clockwise direction. Let's define the normal vector pointing out of the screen. Then the positive circulation direction is counterclockwise. I think that means that we have I am not sure about the...

As far as I can tell we have $$\mathcal{E}_L=\oint \vec{E}\cdot d\vec{l}=IR-\mathcal{E}=-L\dot{I}=-\dot{\Phi}\tag{1}$$ This differential equation can be written $$\dot{I}+\frac{R}{L}I=\frac{\mathcal{E}}{L}\tag{2}$$ which is easily solved $$I(t)=\frac{\mathcal{E}}{R}\left (...

I found the time constant using L/R and got 0.62s (3.6H/5.8ohms) I found the initial current V/R and got 4.086A (23.7V/5.8ohms) I(f) = 4.086A(1-e^(-0.5s/0.62s)) Then I plugged it into the equation and got 2.26A and it was wrong

##I_2 = \frac{V}{R_3 + R_2}e^{-t/\tau}## ##I_2 = \frac{50}{19.4(2)}e^{-t/\tau}## as t goes to 0, ##I_2 = \frac{50}{19.4(2)}## = 1.29 Amps which is not the answer.

What I have done: (1) ##I(0)=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{1.5}{25}A=0.06 A.## (2) By setting ##I(t*)=0.06(1-e^{-(35/0.4)t*})=35 mA## we get ##t*\approx 0.01 s## What I have done seems correct to me, but the result for part (2) should be different. I would be grateful if someone could point out to me...

I shorted the inductor and performed mesh analysis. The solutions to the linear system were done using a calculator. The book says that the value for i2(0-) should be 15 mA but I'm getting -2mA. What am I doing wrong? I'm completely confused. Maybe mesh isn't the most efficient way to find I2...

Hi guys , I've been trying to think this one out but I'm drawing a blank. What I am able to understand that I'm required to calculate the backwards emf when the switch is opened. The current through the resistor R1 is 9mA. I was wondering if 9.2mA is even possible? Can the current exceed Imax...

In my idea the tension change after connecting the circuit to a battery is immediate, while the current takes some time before moving. That should be sufficient to prove my question but, so why in a RC circuit the opposite happens?

I already found ##I(t)## using Kirchhoff's laws, I got the equation ##V-RI-L\frac{dI}{dt}=0\Rightarrow L\frac{dI}{dt}=V-RI## then I solved the differential equation getting ##I(t)=\frac{V}{R}\left[1-e^{-\frac{R}{L}t}\right]##. My problem is founding the voltage as a function of time ##V(t)##, I...

Hi, I have just been refreshing my theory and was going over a parallel RL circuit, like this one. The site I was reading had this for the total current I tried some values as a test but it doesn't give me the correct answer, for total current. eg if I set V=10V R=2.5ohm jXl=5ohm Then...

Hello. This is the differential equation. $$ i \cdot \dfrac{R}{L} + \dfrac{di}{dt} = t $$ My solution path: Homogenous solution: $$ r + \dfrac{R}{L} = 0 \\ \\ r = -\dfrac{R}{L} \\ \\ i_{h}(t) = C_{0} e^{ -\dfrac{R}{L} t} \\ \\ $$ Particular solution: Try $$ y_{p} = at + b \\ \\ y_{p}...

Hi, I'm struggling with source-free RL Circuit derivation. In the books in the right side diagram they've reversed polarity of inductor to get equation: V(r) = - V(L) But why? I checked google and everywhere they had put inductor with positive sign upwards. Here is what I think-- In left...

For reference: Engineering Circuit Analysis, Hayt & Kemmerly, 4th ed, 1986, page 345. Given a series RL circuit, the phasor current is I(s) = Vm/(R+sigma L), where S = sigma, w (omega) = 0. Thus we are dealing with only a exponential forcing function. Obviously I(s) goes to zero as sigma...

as you can see In the image I provided I have derived the equation for i(t) and v(t). On circuit A I use a passive sign convention(current flowing from positive to negative) on the inductor, hence the equation and their corresponding graph. i(t) is decaying exponentially, v(t) is decaying...

Hi, I can't figure out what is the physical reason behind the fact that, in DC RL circuit, for example, the series one, the current rises from zero (supposing state zero response), to its maximum value given by ohm's law. I've understood it mathematically but I can't physically explain why...
