Chapter 21 Problem 51

Question

How many time constants does it take for the potential difference across the resistor in an LR circuit like that in Fig. 2137 to drop to 2.5% of its original value, after the switch is moved to the upper position, removing from the circuit?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 21 problem number 51 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: How many time constants does it take for the potential difference across the resistor in an LR circuit like that in Fig. 2137 to drop to 2.5% of its original value, after the switch is moved to the upper position, removing from the circuit?
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faradays Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
