Abstract
IN AN A-C CIRCUIT containing a substantial amount of inductance in proportion to its resistance, the current which flows immediately after the circuit is closed may be asymmetrical. Asymmetry arises from the fact that the current through an inductance cannot change in zero time from zero to any substantial value as would be required in most cases if the current were to assume its steady-state value immediately after closure of the circuit.
