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?
