Inductors & DC Transients (Mixed)
A coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with a resistance of 8 ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of a 2 volt battery. The time constant of the circuit is
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Time constant of an L-R circuit (independent of the battery emf).
- So the answer is (a) 5 seconds.
