In an $LR$ circuit,the time constant is the time in which the current grows from zero to the value (where ${I_0}$ is the steady-state current):

  • A
    $0.63\,{I_0}$
  • B
    $0.50\,{I_0}$
  • C
    $0.37\,{I_0}$
  • D
    ${I_0}$

The figure shows a circuit that contains three resistors with resistance $R = 2.0 \, \Omega$, two inductors with inductance $L = 2.0 \, mH$, and an ideal battery with $emf$ $E = 9 \, V$. The current $i$ just after the switch $S$ is closed will be .... $A$.

In the circuit shown below,the key $K$ is closed at $t = 0$. The current through the battery is

$A$ coil carrying a steady current is short-circuited. The current in it decreases $\alpha$ times in $t_0$. The time constant of the circuit is:-

$A$ series $L-R$ circuit is connected to a battery of emf $V$. If the circuit is switched on at $t = 0$,then the time at which the energy stored in the inductor reaches $\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)$ times of its maximum value,is

In the figure,a lamp $P$ is in series with an iron-core inductor $L$. When the switch $S$ is closed,the brightness of the lamp rises relatively slowly to its full brightness compared to the case without the inductor. This is due to:
