Before revision: Electrical engineering When a switch is flipped in an appropriate electrical circuit containing a capacitor or inductor, the component draws out the resulting change in voltage or current (respectively) , causing the system to take a substantial amount of time to reach a new steady state.
After revision: Electrical engineering When a switch is closed in an electrical circuit containing a capacitor or inductor, the component draws out the resulting change in voltage or current , causing the system to take a substantial amount of time to reach a new steady state.
