Explanation / Answer

when switch is closed, initially inductor acts as open ckt

Rnet = R2 = 5 ohms

a) i = V/Rnet = 13/5 = 2.6 A

b) as inductor acts as open ckt, current through inductor and R1 is zero.

c) current through R2 and battery,i = V/Rnet = 13/5 = 2.6 A

d) as current through R1 is zero potential across R1 is zero.

e) potentail difference across R2 = V = 13 volts

f) potential difference across inductor = V = 13 volts

g)

i = io*(1 - e^(-t/T))

di/dt = io*e^(-t/T)*(-1/T)

di/dt = -io*e^(-t/T)/T
