Back in post #18 , gneill posted the following.

That's where Thevenin's Theorem comes in. You should have covered Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits in circuit analysis prior to the introduction of inductor and capacitor components.

You want to remove the inductor from the circuit and replace the remaining voltage source and resistor network with a Thevenin equivalent circuit. It will consist of a voltage source and a single resistor. Those are your "E~" and "R~". Then when the inductor is re-inserted you have a simple series RL circuit to analyze.

Here is a link to the Wikipedia entry for Thevenin's[/PLAIN] Theorem .
