An inductor coil carries a steady-state current of $2.0 \ A$ when connected across an ideal battery of $emf$ $4.0 \ V$. If its inductance is $1.0 \ H$,find the time constant of the circuit in $sec$.

When the switch $S$ is closed at time $t = 0$,what will be the nature of the graphs for the induced $emf$ $e$ across the inductor $L$ and the current $i$ in the circuit?

In a decaying $L-R$ circuit,the time after which energy stored in the inductor reduces to one-fourth of its initial value is

The resistance $R$ is the same as that of the coil that makes $L$. Which of the following statements gives the correct description of the happenings when the switch $S$ is closed?

Find the current in the $4 \Omega$ resistance shown in the figure in the following cases:
$(a)$ Just after the closing of the key.
$(b)$ $A$ long time after the closing of the key.

An inductance $L$ and a resistance $R$ are first connected to a battery. After some time,the battery is disconnected,but $L$ and $R$ remain connected in a closed circuit. Then the current reduces to $37\%$ of its initial value in
