Problem30 75

This document discusses Kirchhoff's rules and circuit analysis. It analyzes a circuit with a battery, two resistors, and an inductor. When the switch is closed, the currents through each component reach steady values. When the switch opens, the current decays exponentially with time. The document uses measurements of current decay over time to calculate the value of the second resistor and the battery voltage.
