In: Math
In an RL series circuit with L = 1/100 H, R = 20 Ω, and E = 60 V. Determine the limit of the maximum current reached (At the function you found to determine the current as a function of time apply the limit when t goes to infinity) and determine the time in which it reaches half of that value. Take i (0) = 0 A.
PART(a):
In the RL circuit, we can write the voltage eqn as,


multiply by 100,

The integrating factor is given by,




The solution of the DE is given by,





where C is an integration const,
put t = 0,



Now the final solution beocmes,

The maximum current is given by,


plugin the limit,




PART(b):
We have,










I hope this answer helps,
