Homework Statement
I'm having trouble understanding how RL circuits work. Here's my understanding so far. Let me know where I'm going wrong. I've provided a reference image.
Right after the switch is closed, the current through R1 and R2 is zero. The potential difference for these two resistors is also zero. The inductor has a current . The potential difference across the inductor is equal to Vemf.
But why is it that the current through R2 is zero, but there is current through the inductor?Shouldn't they be the same since they are in series?
