Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an RL circuit, what is the time constant τ?
  • Step 1: Understand that an RL circuit consists of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected together.
  • Step 2: Know that the time constant (τ) is a measure of how quickly the current in the circuit changes.
  • Step 3: Learn the formula for the time constant in an RL circuit, which is τ = L/R.
  • Step 4: Identify L as the inductance of the inductor, measured in henries (H).
  • Step 5: Identify R as the resistance of the resistor, measured in ohms (Ω).
  • Step 6: Calculate τ by dividing the inductance (L) by the resistance (R).
