We have analysed the simple series RL circuit exhaustively. We would like to arrive at a generalised procedure for the analysis of RL circuits that may contain more than one resistor. The circuit may also contain more than one inductor; but in that case, we assume that the inductors will enter in series or parallel combinations and can be finally equivalenced by a single inductor. If that is not possible, the circuit will have more than one time constant and we do not handle it by the method we develop here.
A circuit with a single energy storage element can have only first order dynamics and only one time constant. A circuit with only one time constant can have only one term ...
