An RL circuit has L=5, R = 200, Vin =100t. Suppose the initial current through the circuit is I(0)=1.

a) find the current through the inductor. b) sketch it. Find the voltage through the Inductor. c) Sketch it

I feel like it know how to do this but I am getting a linear function which doesn't seem right to me

What sort of function are you expecting and why? (Please show your working.)
Have you checked LR circuits coursework, notes, or theory anywhere?
ie - do you know the differential equation the circuit is supposed to satisfy?

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'

I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
