7.5 The Step-Response of a RL Circuit (2)

Three steps to find out the step response of an RL circuit:

1. The initial inductor current i(0) at t = 0+. 2. The final inductor current i(). 3. The time constant .

Note: The above method is a short-cut method. You may also determine the solution by setting up the circuit formula directly using KCL, KVL , ohms law, capacitor and inductor VI laws.
