Question 5
In the network shown in figure, the switch is closed to
position 1 at t = 0 and is moved to position 2 at 10 ms.
Determine iL(t) & sketch it.
t = 10 ms

0.1 H
Switch in 1; for 0 t 10 ms
•
i1 (t) = (V/R) * (1 – e -(R t/L)) = 1- e -100 t
At ‘t’ = 10 ms; I1 = 0.632 A
Switch in 2; t > 10 ms; i2 (t) = I1 * e -(R1 t/L) = 0.632 e-250(t – 0.01)
