A coil of wire having inductance and resistance has a conducting ring placed coaxially within it The coil is connected to a battery at time t = 0' so that a time-dependent current i (t) starts flowing through the coil: If i2 (t) is the magnetic field at the axis of the coil due to i1 (t) then as a function of time (t >0)' the product i2 (t) B(t)
Initially,
FinaIly
In between
So, the product passes through a maximum value.
