Charging inductivity - transient state

Electrical circuit is built with:
• voltage source E
• resistor R
• switch X1
• inductivity L

Charging inductivity - electrical circuit

Switch X1 is being closed at specific time, thus, current i(t) starts to flow in circuit. Immediately after closing the switch X1 the transient state occurs in electrical circuit, therefore, commutation principles have to taken under consideration. Kirchhoff's voltage law equation will be written for circuit. General formula for inductivity's current will be taken under consideration.
