A circuit whose resistance is 20 Ω and inductance 10 H has a steady voltage of 100 V suddenly applied to it. For the instant 0.5 second after the voltage is applied, determine (a) the total power input to the circuit (b) the power dissipated in the resistance. Explain the reason for the difference between (a) and (b).
