The voltage across the inductor (passive sign convention) is 3 V at t =0. a) Find the expression for the voltage across the inductor for t > 0. b) Find the time, greater than zero, when the power at the terminals of the inductor is zero.
a) We know that
We also kno that
Now we have two equations with two unknowns:
We solve this and get
Now we can write the expression for the voltage
