Current in a RL Circuit Calculator
The Current in a RL Circuit Calculator will calculate the:
- The current flowing at any instant in a RL circuit when the current in the circuit is increasing
- The current flowing at any instant in a RL circuit when the current in the circuit is decreasing
Calculation Considerations: The conducting wire of circuit and material the inductor is made from are both uniform and they have the same thickness everywhere; the source supplies DC current
The current flowing at any instant in a RL circuit when the current in the circuit is increasing is A [Ampere] |
The current flowing at any instant in a RL circuit when the current in the circuit is decreasing is A [Ampere] |
