6. The graph to the right plots the current
through a resistor as a function of time given
that the resistor is connected to an inductor,
and the combination is suddenly disconnected
from a battery. What would change if the
inductor is exchanged for one with a larger
inductance and the process is repeated?
a) Shorter decay time
b) Longer decay time
c) Higher initial current
d) Lower initial current
none of the above
