opentextbc.ca › chapter › rl-circuitsA circuit with resistance and self-inductance is known as an RL circuit. (a) shows an RL circuit consisting of a resistor, an inductor, a constant source of emf, and switches and When is closed, the circuit is equivalent to a single-loop circuit consisting of a resistor and an inductor connected across a source of emf ((b)).

The + and signs indicate the positive values of the potential di erences across the components. The solution to the homogeneous equation [V(t) = 0] is I(t) = I 0e t L=R, where I 0 is the current through the circuit at time t= 0. This solution leads immediately to V R = I 0Re
