Problem

A 3.56 H3.56\,\text{H} inductor is placed in series with a 12.8 Ω12.8\,\Omega resistor. An emf of 3.24 V3.24\,\text{V} is suddenly applied across the RLRL combination. (1) At 0.278 s0.278\,\text{s} after the emf is applied, what is the rate at which energy is being delivered by the battery? (2) At 0.278 s0.278\,\text{s}, at what rate is energy appearing as thermal energy in the resistor? (3) At 0.278 s0.278\,\text{s}, at what rate is energy being stored in the magnetic field?
