The behavior of this is explained by Faraday's law in the lumped-circuit approximation, and it will not allow the current through it to be discontinuous in time.
This device becomes a dc short in the long time approximation and, in the presence of an alternating current of circular frequency ω [omega], it presents an impedance equal to the product of i, ω, and its magnitude. Placing this in series with a resistor of resistance R [arr] results in a circuit with a time constant proportional to 1/R [one over arr]. The behavior of this is explained by Faraday's law in the lumped-circuit approximation, and it will not allow the current through it to be discontinuous in time. For 10 points, identify the circuit element generally symbolized by L [ell] and having a magnitude measured in Henrys.
