    a.) E = 30.8J

    b.) E = 12.3J

    Explanation:

    Given that the

    Voltage V = 24v

    Resistance R = 5.8 Ω

    Inductor L = 3.6 H

    The relationship between the energy and inductor is

    E = 1/2LI^2

    Where

    E = energy stored

    I = current in the circuit

    But V = IR + Ldi/dt

    Where

    Current I = a (1-e^-kt)

    for large t, current will be

    i = 24/5.8 = a

    so

    a = 4.14

    i = 4.14 (1-e^-kt)

    di/dt = 4.14 k e^-kt

    24 = 24-24e^-kt + 2 (4.14) k e^-kt

    24 = 2 (4.14) k

    k = 24 / (2 * 4.14) = R/L

    so

    i = 4.14 (1-e^ - (Rt/L))

    current is max at large t

    i max = 4.14 - 0

    Substitute the values of current and inductor into the formula

    Energy E = (1/2) L i^2 = (1/2) (3.6) 4.14^2

    = 30.8Joules

    For one time constant T = L/R and

    e^ - (Rt/L) = 1/e = 0.368

    i = 4.14 (1-.368) = 4.14 * 0.632 = 2.62A

    Substitute the values of current and inductor into the formula

    Energy E = (1/2) (3.6) 2.62^2 = 12.32 Joules

    A) 30.82 J

    B) 12.31 J

    Explanation:

    We are given;

    Voltage; E = 24V

    Resistance; R = 5.8 Ω

    Inductance; L = 3.6 H

    A) The formula for the maximum current is: I_max = E/R

    Where E is voltage and R is resistance

    So, I_max = 24/5.8 A

    Now, the formula for the Energy stored in the inductor at maximum current is;

    P_max = ½L (I_max) ²

    P_max = ½ * 3.6 * (24/5.8) ²

    P_max = 30.82 J

    B) The formula for the current after the switch is closed is;

    I = I_max (1 - e^ (-tr))

    Since, one time constant, then tr = 1

    So, I = (24/5.8) (1 - e^ (-1))

    I = (24/5.8) (1 - 0.3679)

    I = 2.6156 A

    Energy stored in the inductor is;

    P = ½LI²

    P = ½ * 3.6 * 2.6156²

    P = 12.31 J
