Suppose I want to create some sort of an "inductive kick" using a transformer, however instead of disconnecting a battery I prefer using a very fast discharge RL circuit.
Suppose I have a constant current source, I,connected to the primary winding. After a long time a switch disconnects the primary from the source and connects it to a parallel resistor R (thus forming an RL circuit).
So now the current equation is IL=Iexp(-t/tau).
My question is this: If tau is very small (meaning the resistor R is large), so the discharge time is very small, will this create a pulse on the secondary winding (similar to the inductive kick, where the current goes rappidly from constant to zero)?
Thanks.
