In the circuit shown, the switch is initially at the open position and has been there for a long time. At time ( t=0 ), the switch moves to the closed position. The component values in the circuit are given by ( R_{1}=5 k Omega, R_{2}=8 k Omega, R_{3}=2 k Omega ), and ( L=550 mathrm{mH} ), and the source current is 49 mA . For ( t>0 ), the current through the inductor will follow the general form,
[
I_{L}(t)=Aleft(1-e^{-t / au}
ight)
]
What is the value of the time constant, ( au ) ? Enter your answer in units of microseconds ( (mu s) ).
