Answer: Current = 2A

Explanation:

Inductor L = 10mH

E. m. f = 1 V

Time t = 20 ms

Using

V = Ldi/dt

di/dt = V / L

di/dt = 1/10*10^-3

di/dt = 100

di = 100dt

Integrate both sides

I = 100 (t1 - to)

Assume that initially there is no current through the inductor.

to = 0

I = 100 * t

I = 100 * 20*10^-3

I = 2A
