When a coil joined to a cell, the current through the coil grows with a time constant tau . After what time, the current will reach 10% of its steady-state value ?

Answer»

Solution :Given by `i=i_0 (1-E^(t/TAU)), (i_0)/(10) = i_0 (1-e^(t/tau)) , 9/10 = e^(-t/tau)`
`10/9 = e^(t/tau) ` , applying log on both sides
`ln(10/9) = t/tau , t = tau ln (10/9)`
