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)

  1. Time constant of an L-R circuit τ=LR\tau = \frac{L}{R} (independent of the battery emf).
  2. τ=408=5 s\tau = \frac{40}{8} = 5\text{ s}
  3. So the answer is (a) 5 seconds.
