RL Circuits (resistor–inductor circuits), often known as RL networks or RL filters, is a form of a circuit that uses a mix of inductors and resistors and is powered by a source of electricity.
As a result, in an RL circuit, the inductor and the resistor are linked in either parallel or series.
Consider the circuit is shown above, which includes a battery, a resistor, and a switch. The battery can be connected in series to the circuit or disconnected from the circuit via the switch.
When the switch is closed, the current reaches its maximum value, and when the switch is opened, the current is immediately lower.
A source-free RL circuit occurs when the circuit's DC supply is abruptly severed.
