LR Circuit Equation Derivations

The video tutorial covers the derivation of equations for current and the time rate of change of current in LR circuits. It begins with a comparison to RC circuits and introduces Kirkhoff's loop rule. The tutorial then explains the use of U substitution and integration to solve the equations, leading to the derivation of current as a function of time. Finally, it calculates the time rate of change of current, ensuring the results fit expected limits.
