7.Alternating Current
medium
In $LR$ circuit the current increases to one fourth of its maximum value in $4\,sec$, then the time constant of the circuit is
A
$2\,log_e\,2$
B
${\mkern 1mu} \frac{4}{{lo{g_e}{\mkern 1mu} 2}}$
C
${\mkern 1mu} \frac{4}{{lo{g_e}{\mkern 1mu} \left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)}}$
D
${\mkern 1mu} \frac{{lo{g_e}{\mkern 1mu} 2}}{2}$
Solution
$I = I_0 (1 -e^{-t/\lambda })$
$\frac {I_0}{4}= I_0 (1 -e^{-4/\lambda })$
