2 s

140 mV

3 s

50 mV

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)

The expression for current is,

I=I0etr

The expression for the potential difference,ΔVLis

ΔVL=LdIdtΔVL=LddtI0ettΔVL=LI0τett(1)

The potential difference isLI0τett

02

Part (b) 

L=20mH,τ=1.0ms andI0=50mA

At,t=0  s

ΔVL1=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e0=1000mV

At, t=1  s

ΔVL2=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e1=370mV

At,t=2  s

ΔVL3(t=2s)=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e2=140mV

At,t=3  s

ΔVL=(20mH)(50mA)(1.0ms)e3=50mV
