I decided that I would attempt to perform a simple analysis of a series RL circuit, which could then be used to do a more complex analysis on a basic transformer. I have always had interest in electronics, and transformers are key to basic electronics.

I decided that i would do the analysis of a RL circuit with the variables instead of given values.


Given:

V(t)=

V(s)=

I(0)=i

The Laplace transform for an inductor:

=

The Laplace transform for a resistor:

=

Therefore the Resulting Equation for the system after applying the Laplace Transform:

A series of algebraic manipulations follows to come up with I(s):



We can then use partial fraction manipulation to expand the expression:


After a lot of messy math and work:

This Solves the Series RL circuit for the current throughout the circuit, given initial conditions or no initial conditions
