A catapult of pole length 4r throws a pumpkin from one end of a pole which rotates about an axis at the other
end with angular speed w.
A smaller catapult of pole length r throws another
pumpkin from one end of a pole which rotates about an
axis at the other end with the same angular speed was
the first catapult.
How does the linear speed of the larger catapult's
pumpkin Vlarge compare with the smaller catapult's
pumpkin Vsmall?

Now that we have a feel for the state of the circuit in its steady state, let us obtain the expression for the current in the circuit as a function of time. note that we can use the loop rule (going around counterclockwise): e−vr−vl=0. note as well that vr=ir and vl=ldidt. using these equations, we can get, after some rearranging of the variables and making the subsitution x=er−i, dxx=−rldt. integrating both sides of this equation yields x=x0e−rt/l. use this last expression to obtain an expression for i(t). remember that x=er−i and that i0=i(0)=0. express your answer in terms of e, r, and l. you may or may not need all these variables. use the notation exp(x) for ex.
