A 3.56H inductor is placed in series with a 12.8Ω resistor. An emf of 3.24V is then suddenly applied across the RL combination. At 0.278s after the emf is applied what is the rate at which energy is being delivered by the battery?

Solution
τL=LR=3.5612.8=0.278s i0=VR=3.2412.8=0.253A After one time constant (t=0.278s=τC) i=(1−1e)i0=0.63i0=0.16A Power supplied by battery =Ei P=(3.24×(0.16)=0.518W
