A circuit consists of a 5-ohm resistor and a 2-henry inductor connected in series with a 12-volt battery. The switch is closed at time t=0, and no current is initially flowing in the
circuit. Find the current i(t) as a function of time. Once you have it, what is the limit as t tends toward infinity? Round to the nearest tenths place.
Hint: Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of voltages around a closed loop is zero.

Getting started hint:
1. Write the differential equation that describes the situation (might have to research it)
2. Solve that equation
3. Take the limit of the resulting equation in light of the ivp.
