6 Questions
What happens to the voltage across the inductor just before the switch opens?
It becomes zero.
How does the inductor behave just before the switch opens?
Like a short circuit.
What happens to the source current I(s) just before the switch opens?
It appears entirely in the inductive branch.
What is the initial state of the resistor R(0) just before the switch opens?
It carries no current.
When does the inductor begin releasing energy?
After the switch has been opened.
What quantities do we find to determine the natural response of an RL circuit after the switch opens?
Voltage and current at the terminals of the resistor R.
Explore the natural response of an RL circuit based on the shown circuit diagram and assumptions. Understand how the independent current source, switch position, and constant currents influence the circuit's behavior.
