Circuit schematic with battery, switch, resistor, and inductor
A circuit contains an ideal battery of electromotive force \(\mathcal{E}\), an open switch \(S\), a resistor of resistance \(R\), and an ideal inductor of inductance \(L\) connected in a single series loop. At time \(t = 0\), the switch is closed. Which of the following graphs best represents the magnitudes of the potential difference across the inductor, \(|\Delta V_L|\) (dashed curve), and across the resistor, \(|\Delta V_R|\) (solid curve), as functions of time \(t\)?
