13.9. Studying Inductor-Resistor Circuits
If you have electrical circuits containing inductors and resistors, use the following differential equation to determine the current in the circuit:
where I is the current, L is the inductance, R is the resistance in the circuit, and V is the voltage as a function of time of the driving voltage source. To see how to handle this kind of problem, check out www.analyzemath.com/calculus/Differential_Equations, click the applications.html link, and scroll down to Application 5.
