TO PLOT THE STEP RESPONSE OF A FIST ORDER RL CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVE:
 To understand the phenomena of Step response in RL circuit
 To plot the output waveform of RL circuit and compare its initial and final current values
to theoretically calculated ones.
STEP RESPONSE OF RL CIRCUIT:
When a dc voltage (current) source is suddenly applied to a circuit, it can be modeled as a step
function, and the resulting response is called step response.

Find the current in the loop or the voltage across the inductor after the switch is closed at t = 0.
Write KVL around the loop.
Response =Step response + Natural Response
Natural response + Response of A system when all source is disconnected
Step response = Response of a system when supplied source is connected
