Why Integrate from 0 to I for Inductor Energy Calculation

In summary, the reason for integrating from 0 to I in the first example is because as the circuit is turned on, the current through the conductor rises from 0 to I. In the second example, the limits are based on time because they are integrating with respect to time. If they were integrating with respect to current, the limits would need to be associated with current. Ultimately, both cases should be calculated in the same way.

why they integrate in from 0 till I in order to find the energy on the inductor

I'd think because as you turn on the circuit, the current through the conductor rises from 0 until it reaches the set current I, so the limits are from 0 to I.

look in this example

here they pick intervals as time (not current like in the first example)
why??

because they are integrating with respect to time, so the limits must be associated with time. If they were integrating with respect to I, then they'd need limits associated with the current.

why in the first case they integrate with respect to current
and in the second with respect to time

those cases should be calculated in the same way

FAQ: Why Integrate from 0 to I for Inductor Energy Calculation

What is integral reasoning?

Integral reasoning is the ability to understand and integrate multiple perspectives, values, and ways of thinking to solve complex problems or make decisions.

Why is integral reasoning important?

Integral reasoning is important because it allows us to consider different viewpoints and come up with more comprehensive and effective solutions to complex problems.

How can integral reasoning be developed?

Integral reasoning can be developed through practice and exposure to diverse perspectives and ways of thinking. It also involves critical thinking and reflection on one's own biases and assumptions.

What are some examples of integral reasoning in action?

Examples of integral reasoning include negotiating conflicts, designing multifaceted solutions to social issues, and making decisions that balance multiple stakeholder needs.

How does integral reasoning differ from other forms of reasoning?

Integral reasoning differs from other forms of reasoning in that it integrates multiple perspectives and values, rather than relying solely on one framework or way of thinking. It also takes into account the complexity and interconnectedness of issues rather than looking at them in isolation.
