    A coil of 40 H inductance is connected in series with a resistance of 8 ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of a 2 V battery. The time constant of the circuit is:                                  [AIPMT (S) 2004]

    A)             5 s      

    B)                   1/5 s   

    C)  40 s 

    D)                   20 s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Time constant of L-R circuit is,
    \[\tau =\frac{L}{R}\]
    Here,     \[L=40H,\,\,R=8\,\,\Omega ,\,\,E=2V\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\tau =\frac{40}{8}=5s\]
    Note:    At a time equal to one time constant the current has risen to \[\left( 1-\frac{1}{\theta } \right)\] or about 63% of its initial
