The 5.05 A current through a 1.50 H inductor is dissipated by a 1.89 Ω resistor in a circuit like that in the figure below, with the switch in position 2.
(a) What is the initial energy in the inductor?
(b) How long will it take the current to decline to 5.00% of its initial value?
(c) Calculate the average power dissipated, and compare it with the initial power dissipated by the resistor.
What is the energy when the current is 5.00% of the initial current? How is average power defined in terms of initial and final energies?
