Homework Statement
greetings
why a bulb glow dimmer in beginning and then brighter when it is connected to a inductor?
thecritic said:Because, inductor won't let current to switch instantaneously, i.e., it will make current rise slowly to its final value.
If you work out the math by assuming that the rate at which inductor let's current to rise is proportional to voltage across it, i.e. dI/dt = (1/L) V, then applying KVL, you will come to a differential equation.
Solving the differential equation, you will get expression for current, i.e. current as a function of time, I(t), which will give you all the information you need.
