If the light bulb in the lava lamp had a lower wattage, what changes would you expect to see in the lava lamp. what if the lava lamp had a higher wattage?

Now that we have a feel for the state of the circuit in its steady state, let us obtain the expression for the current in the circuit as a function of time. note that we can use the loop rule (going around counterclockwise): e−vr−vl=0. note as well that vr=ir and vl=ldidt. using these equations, we can get, after some rearranging of the variables and making the subsitution x=er−i, dxx=−rldt. integrating both sides of this equation yields x=x0e−rt/l. use this last expression to obtain an expression for i(t). remember that x=er−i and that i0=i(0)=0. express your answer in terms of e, r, and l. you may or may not need all these variables. use the notation exp(x) for ex.
