Phase Angle of Difference Between Voltage and Current
editIn RL series circuit, only L is the component that depends on frequency . There is no difference between voltage and current on R . There is an angle difference between voltage and current by 90 degree . When connect R and L in series , there is a difference in angle between voltage and current from 0 to 90 degree which can be expressed as a mathematic formula below

- I = A
t I(t) % Io 0 A = eC = Io 100% .63 Io 63% Io Io Io Io .01 Io 10% Io
Current of the circuit is decreased exponentially with time . At time t = 0 I = Io . At time t = R/L I = 63% Io . At time t = 5 time time constant I = 10% Io
- I = A
Summary
editIn summary RL series circuit has a first order differential equation of current
Which has one real root
