An inductor with inductance L and a resistor with resistance R are wired in series to an ideal battery with emf E. A switch in the circuit is closed at time t = 0, at which time the current is zero. A long time after the switch is thrown the potential differences across the inductor and resistor are: 0, E E, 0 E/2, E/2 (L/R)E, (R/L)E unknown since the rate of change of the current is not given
