%$#& forum kicked me off mid post! (no offence Brandon!)
Cool stuff!
Very good work Caleb I learned alot! However, Al's simplification does not make a whole lot of sense to me...
It started when I wanted to solve for VOLTAGE not CURRENT to compare Jame's work and the expected model. So, if you examine the simplified equation,
I(t)= (V*(1-e^(-(t*R)/L)))/R
and use the multiplication rule we can take out V and R
I(t)= (1-e^(-(t*R)/L))*(V/R)
If V = IR then V/R = I
Soo... now
I(t)= (1-e^(-(t*R)/L))*I
and the I s cancel? Something is screwy....
Some interesting links while I'm at it!
inductors
Inductors
Step functions
PS, Al is it ok if we ignore the 0.004 ohms resistance in the FETs?
