7.Alternating Current
medium

For $L - R$ circuit, the time constant is equal to

A

twice the ratio of the energy stored in the magnetic field to the rate of the dissipation of energy in the resistance.

B

the ratio of the energy stored in the magnetic field to the rate of dissipation of energy in the resistance.

C

half of the ratio of the energy stored in the magnetic field to the rate of dissipation of energy in the resistance.

D

square of the ratio of the energy stored in the magnetic field to the rate of dissipation energy in the resistance.

Solution

The time required for the current flowing in the $LR$ series circuit to reach its maximum steady state value is equivalent to about $5$ time constants or $5 t.$ This time constant $\tau,$ is measured by $\tau=L / R,$ in seconds, where $R$ is the value of the resistor in ohms and Lis the value of the inductor in Henries
