The current in an $R L$ circuit builds up to one-third of its steady-state value in $3.00 \mathrm{~s}$. Find the inductive time constant.
A series $R L$ circuit with $L=3.00 \mathrm{H}$ and a series $R C$ circuit with $C=3.00 \mu \mathrm{F}$ have equal time constants. If the two circuits contain the same resistance $R,$ (a) what is the value of $R ?$ (b) What is the time constant?

Your $R L$ circuit has a characteristic time constant of 20.0 ns, and a resistance of 5.00 $\mathrm{M\Omega}$ . (a) What is the inductance of the circuit? (b) What resistance would give you a 1.00 ns time constant, perhaps needed for quick response in an oscilloscope?
