The current in a inductor is known to be a) Find the voltage across the inductor for (Assume the passive sign convention.) b) Find the power (in microwatts) at the terminals of the inductor when c) Is the inductor absorbing or delivering power at 5 ms? d) Find the energy (in microjoules) stored in the inductor at 5 ms. e) Find the maximum energy (in microjoules) stored in the inductor and the time (in milliseconds) when it occurs.

Question
The expressions for voltage, power, and energy derived in Example 6.5 involved both integration and manipulation of algebraic expressions. As an engineer, you cannot accept such results on faith alone. That is, you should develop the habit of asking yourself, “Do these results make sense in terms of the known behavior of the circuit they purport to describe?” With these thoughts in mind, test the expressions of Example 6.5 by performing the following checks:
a) Check the expressions to see whether the voltage is continuous in passing from one time interval to the next.
b) Check the power expression in each interval by selecting a time within the interval and seeing whether it gives the same result as the corresponding product of v and i. For example, test at 10 and \(30 \ \mu \mathrm{s}\).
c) Check the energy expression within each interval by selecting a time within the interval and seeing whether the energy equation gives the same result as \(\frac{1}{2} C v^{2}\). Use 10 and \(30 \ \mu \mathrm{s}\) as test points.
