PRACTICE / RL transients
How fast does current build?
An ideal 0.50 H inductor is connected in series with a total resistance of 10 Ω and a DC source.
Find the circuit time constant.
Organize the givens & assumptions
- L = 0.50 H
- Rtotal = 10 Ω
Ideal constant inductor in a linear series RL circuit; stated resistance includes all series resistance.
