Question
A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at first the switch is open, and then, at some initial time t = 0, it is closed. Which of the following statements are true?
Check all that apply.
The steady-state value of the current depends on the inductance of the inductor. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor. At the instant the switch is closed, the current reaches its steady-state value. At the instant the switch is closed, the current begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.Explanation / Answer
The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.
At the instant the switch is closed, the current begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.
