Inductor branch shunted by a resistor

ID: inductor-branch-shunted-by-a-resistor

An ideal source feeds a series resistance , followed by parallel branches and . The Thévenin equivalent seen by the inductor has voltage and resistance . From zero initial current, the inductor current is , the other branch current is , and the source current is . Kirchhoff's current law holds at every time, and the final stored magnetic energy is .
