1. Homework Statement [/b]
What is/are the critical points of Kirchoff's Law:
L\left(\frac{di}{dt}\right) + Ri = E
I solved the differential equation above and got the following solution (which I verified to be correct):
i = \left(\frac{E}{R}\right) + Ce^{-\left(\frac{R}{L}\right)t}
If I remember correctly, the critical points would be when \left(\frac{di}{dt}\right) = 0.
\left(\frac{di}{dt}\right) = \left(\frac{E}{L}\right) - \left(\frac{R}{L}\right)i so you have a critical point when
\left(\frac{E}{L}\right) = \left(\frac{R}{L}\right)i
Is this correct or am I on the wrong path?
