RL Transient: Why an Inductor Slows the Current

Series RL transient — when the switch closes, current rises along i(t) = (V/R)(1 − e^{−t/τ}) with τ = L/R, because the inductor opposes any change in current and develops a back-emf that decays as the current settles; the inductive twin of RC charging.
