Current in a RL Circuit

Claimed by Jake Sebring on December 3, 2015 at 11:10 AM

A resistor-inductor circuit is an electric circuit that contains both a resistor, R, and an inductor, L, and is powered by a current source. The energy conservation equation for a RL circuit is typically of the form: ΔV_battery + ΔV_resistor + ΔV_inductor = 0
