Alternating Current

  1. A coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with a resistance of 8 ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of a 2 volt battery. The time constant of the circuit is
    1. 20 seconds
    2. ​5 seconds ​
    3. 1/5 seconds ​
    4. ​40 seconds
Correct Option: B

Time constant is L/R ​
Given, L = 40H & R = 8Ω ​
∴ τ = 40/8 = 5 sec.
