PROBLEM 121P11-42P: The current i through a 4.6 H inductor varies with time t as shown by the graph in the
figure. The inductor has a resistance of 12 Ω. Find the magnitude of the induced emf
during the time intervals
(a) t = 0 to t = 2 ms, (b) t = 2 ms to t = 5 ms, (c) t = 5 ms to t = 6 ms. (Ignore the behavior at the ends of the
intervals.)
