The discussion revolves around determining the time at which the voltage across a resistor equals the voltage across an inductor in an RL circuit, specifically when a step input of 100V is applied. The context includes homework-related inquiries and attempts to solve the problem using relevant equations.
There is no consensus on the specific equations or methods to solve the problem, and participants express varying levels of uncertainty regarding their approaches.
Participants have not resolved the mathematical steps necessary to find the time at which the voltages are equal, and there is a lack of clarity on the definitions and relationships involved in the circuit analysis.
Google is your friend. Look up "LR series circuit".JordanU94 said:Homework Statement
A step input of 100V is applied to a resistor of 50Ω in series with an inductor of 10H at time t=0. Calculate the time at which the voltage across the resistor equals the voltage across the inductor
Homework Equations
Im not sure which equation to use, i know τ=L/R is used, but that's all I am certain of
