I guess this has been asked before many a times. But I searched for it and couldn't find the question. Any kind of qualitative answer will be really helpful.
When a magnetically charged inductor is connected in series with a resistor, it is known that the current decays exponentially through the resistor and becomes zero after a long time.
This is also mathematically supported by the equation, $i(t)=I_{o}e^{\frac {-tR}{L}}$. My question is how can current decrease to zero ? How can charges flowing in the circuit decrease to zero ?
