The value of the time constant in the R-L circuit is?(a) L/R(b) R/L(c) R(d) LThis question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is DC Response of an R-L Circuit in section Transients of Network Theory

Answer»

Right option is (a) L/R

Easy explanation: The TIME constant of a function (V/R)e^-(R/L)t is the time at which the exponent of e is unity where e is the BASE of the natural LOGARITHMS. The term L/R is called the time constant and is denoted by ‘τ’.
