Let \(\mathcal{E} = 10.0\text{ V}\), \(R_1 = 120\,\Omega\), \(R_2 = 150\,\Omega\), \(R_3 = 260\,\Omega\), and \(L = 3.00\text{ H}\). What is the current \(i_2\) when the switch is first closed \((\text{at } t=0)\)? Express your answer in mA.\ \(i_2 = \text{_____ mA}\) What is the current \(i_2\) at steady-state? Express your answer in mA. \(i_2 = \text{_____ mA}\)

Step 1
Step 1: When the switch is first closed at t = 0, the inductor acts as a short circuit, so the current i will be determined by the total resistance in the circuit. Show more…

The switch in FIGURE P34.80 has been open for a long time. It is closed at $t=0 \mathrm{s}$ a. After the switch has been closed for a long time, what is the current in the circuit? Call this current $I_{0}$. b. Find an expression for the current $I$ as a function of time. Write your expression in terms of $I_{0}, R,$ and $L$ c. Sketch a current-versus-time graph from $t=0$ s until the current is no longer changing.

Consider the circuit shown in the figure below, where L = 5.25 mH and R2 = 480 ̐. The switch S can be positioned at either a or b. (a) When the switch is at position a, the time constant is 14.9 s. What is R1 (in k̐)? (b) What is the current in the inductor at the instant the switch is thrown to position b?
