Question
The current in an $R L$ circuit builds up to one-third of itssteady-state value in 5.00 s.Find the inductive time constant.
Step 1
Step 1: We know that the steady state value of the current $I$ is given by Ohm's law as $I_{m} = \frac{EMF}{R}$, where $EMF$ is the electromotive force and $R$ is the resistance. Show more…
