Step-by-step explanation
To analyze the given circuit, we can use the equation for induced electromotive force (EMF) in an inductor. The formula is:
For this circuit, we have:
(the applied EMF)
(the inductance of the inductor)
(the rate of change of current)
Assuming the direction of current is such that the change in current is negative, substitute these values into the equation:
Solving for (the current in the circuit):
Thus, the current at the moment when the resistance is is .
