Transient Analysis of a Resistor- Inductor (RL) Circuit

1. INTRODUCTION

Electrical circuit analysis is done in order to allow the designer to verify his design and to predict the response of the system under varying conditions of load and excitation. …show more content…

Its formula looks like this: T= L/R. Tau or lowercase t. Five time constants are required for current to reach 100% of its value. The time constant of t for the circuit in Figure 7.1 is 470 micro seconds.

The Current value of IL, through the inductor at the beginning of the charge cycle is 0 Amps, while, the end of the charging cycle was 10 mA. The voltage at V1 across the inductor and resistor in the beginning stages is 10 V and end with 0V. The inductor acts like an open circuit at the beginning of the charging cycle, ending appearing like a short circuit.
