I need help with Q3 and Q4. Thanks.

**Q3**. Notice that the rate at which “I” changes is the greatest at first, i.e., the slope at “A” (shown below) is greater than the slope at “B”. Explain why in this space:

*Diagram:*
The graph shows time \(t\) on the x-axis and current \(I\) on the y-axis, with points “A” and “B” indicating steep and less steep slopes, respectively.

*Note:* If you are mathematically inclined, you can see this using Kirchhoff’s Voltage Rule for this circuit: 
\[ V = L \frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t} + I R \]

*Diagram:*
A circuit diagram showing components like an inductor (\(L\)) and a resistor (\(R\)) with constant labels.

By looking at the I versus t graph, you might have guessed that an exponential function “fits” it. If so, you’re right! Here it is:
\[ I = I_{\text{max}} \left(1 - e^{-t/\tau}\right) \]  
*Equation 2*

**Q4**. Using Equation 1 and Equation 2, determine “I” in terms of “Imax” at the times given in the table below. The third one is done for you: At \(t = \tau\)  
\[ I = I_{\text{max}} \left(1 - e^{-t/\tau}\right) \]  
\[ = I_{\text{max}} \left(1 - e^{-1}\right) \]  
\[ \approx I_{\text{max}} \left(1 - 0.37\right) \]  
\[ = I_{\text{max}} (0.63) \]

Insert your answers in the table below.

*Graph:*
The graph emphasizes \(t = \tau\) with current \( I = 0.63 I_{\text{max}} \) and prompts sketching results at \( t = 0 \), \( t = 0.5\tau \), and \( t = 3\tau \).

*Table:*

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Time} & \text{Current} \\
\hline
t = 0 & \\
t = 0.5\tau & \\
t = \tau
