Question:

DC through resistor-inductor series circuit after the indutor has fluxed?

How much DC current flows through a resistor-inductor series circuit after the inductor has fluxed (i.e., after the transient)?

Answer:

At an 'infinite' time after applying a DC source, the current will settle to a value determined by the resistance of the inductor a la ohms law. But if its an ideal inductor, the current will simply continue to ramp up linearly for ever
Inductance has no effect on DC. The resistance of total winding is the major loading of DC.
