The current in a 50 mH inducator is known to be
i=120mA,t0; i=A1e500t+A2e2000tA,t0.
The voltage across the inducator (passive sign convention) is 3 V at t=0.
a) Find the expression for the voltage across the inducator for t>0.
b) Find the time, greater then zero, when the power at the terminals of the inductor is zero.

a) We know that i(0)=120mA so we can write
i(0)=A1e0+A2e0=A1+A2=0.12A
We also know that v(0)=3V so we write
didt=500A1e500t2000A2e2000t
v=Ldidt=25A1e500t100A2e2000t
v(0)=25A1e0100A2e0=25A1100A2=3V
Now we have two equations with two unknowns:
A1+A2=0.12
25A1100A2=3
We solve this and get
A1=0.2 and A2=0.08
Now we can write the expression for the voltage
v(t)=25(0.2)e500t100(0.08)e2000t
v(t)=5e500t+8e2000tV

b)
p=vi so we search for when the voltage current are zero
i(t)=0.2e500t0.08e2000t
i(t)=0
0.2e500t=0.08e2000t
0.20.08=e2000te500t
ln(2.5)=ln(e1500t)
t=ln(2.5)1500
t=6.1104s
Whitch is not greater then zero. Let`s look at the voltage now:
v(t)=5e500t+8e2000t
v(t)=0
5e500t=8e2000t
85=e500te2000t
ln(1.6)=ln(e1500t)
t=ln(1.6)1500
t=313.33μs
