Exercise 58

The waveform for the current flowing through a 0.5-H inductor is shown in the plot in Fig. P6.29. Accurately sketch the inductor voltage versus time. Determine the following quantities: (a) the energy stored in the inductor at t = 1.7 ms, (b) the energy stored in the inductor at t = 4.2 ms, and (c) the power absorbed by the inductor at t = 1.2 ms, t = 2.8 ms, and t = 5.3 ms.
