Time Constant

Rise of Current

Solve for the Rise of Current as a function of time, i(t)
HINT - See below.

Step 1 - Draw an LR Circuit.

Your circuit should have a double throw single pole switch so the circuit can be flipped between rise and decay of current.

Step 2 - Flip the Switch to Rise of Current and Apply the Loop Rule

Rise of Current is when the switch is in position "a".

Step 3 - Separation of Variables

Step 4 - Integrate

Step 5 - Solve for i(t)

Decay of Current

Solve for the Decay of Current as a function of time, i(t)

HINT - Use i = -dq/dt

Step 1 - Draw an LR Circuit

Your circuit should have a double throw single pole switch so the circuit can be flipped between rise and decay of current.

Step 2 - Flip the Switch to Decay of Current and Apply the Loop Rule

Decay of Current is when the switch is in position "b".

Remember the HINT

Step 3 - Separation of Varialbles

Step 4 - Integrate

Step 5 - Solve for i(t)
