a) Create a first-order RL circuit (see figure) with a time constant of 8s.
b) Suppose the inductor you chose in part a has no initial stored energy. At t=0, a switch connects a voltage source with a value of 25 V in series with the inductor. Write an expression for the current through the inductor for t > 0.
c) Using your result from part (b), calculate the time at which the current through the inductor reaches 75% of its final value.
