Effect of switching on resistor

We know that for a linear resistor VR = Ri. So, theoretically, the current through or the voltage across the resistor can change instantaneously, i.e., in zero time.

EFFECT OF SWITCHING ON RESISTOR

We know that for a linear resistor VR = Ri. So, theoretically, the current through or the voltage across the resistor can change instantaneously, i.e., in zero time. Hence, there will be no transients in purely resistive networks. The network changes from one steady state to another without any transient. As the resistor does not store energy, in general

iR (0+) ≠ i R (0-) and V R (0+) ≠ V R (0–)
