1)

A coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with a resistance of 8 ohms and the combination is joined to the terminals of a 2 volt battery. The time constant of the circuit is


A) 20 Seconds

B) 5 Seconds

C) 1/5 Seconds

D) 40 Seconds

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Time constant is L/R

Given, L =  40H & R = 8 Ω

.'. $\tau$ = 40/8 = 5 Sec
