By applying KVL in the given circuit, we have

-L\frac{dI}{dt}+vBd=IR\; or\; L\frac{dI}{dt}+IR=vBd

This is the linear differential equation. On solving,

I=\frac{vBd}{R}+Ae^{-\frac{Rt}{ L}}

At \; t=0, I=0

\Rightarrow A=-\frac{vBd}{R}\Rightarrow I=\frac{vBd}{R}\left ( 1-e^{\frac{-Rt}{L}} \right )
