A series LR circuit consists of a 2.0-H inductor with negligible internal resistance, a 100-ohm resistor, an open switch, and a 9.0-V ideal power source. (a) If the switch is closed at time t=0s, what is the current 5.8ms later? (b) After the switch is closed, what is the maximum power delivered by the power supply?

As per the theory of growth of current in LR circuit , current at time t  I(t) = (V/R)(1-e-Rt/L) ...(1)  Here V = emf of battery =9.0V , R== resistance of resistor=100Ω,L=inductance of inductor=2H  a)Put t= 5.8ms=0.0058s  Substitute numerical values I(t)=(9.0V/100Ω){1-e-(100Ω)(0.0058s)/(2H)} = 0.023 A. b) maximum power delivered by power supply  Pmax = V imax  From (1) imax = V/R  Then ,Pmax =V(V/R)= V²/R =( 9V)²/100Ω=0.81W   ...
