Question
A resistor, inductor, and a battery are arranged in a circuit. The circuit has an inductance of L = 1.8 H, and a resistance of 1.4 kΩ. Switch S1 is suddenly closed at t = 0. Find the time needed for the current to reach a fraction f = 0.5 of its maximum value.

Answer:
t = 8.9 10-3 s
Explanation:
The charge on an RL circuit is
I = I₀ (1 –
)
Where tau is the circuit response time
τ = L / R
i / io = 1-
0.5 = 1-e_{-t/\tau }
e_{-t/\tau } = 1 /0.5 = 0.5
-t / τ = ln 0.5
t = τ ln 0.5
τ = L / R
t = L / R ln 0.5
t = 1.8 / 1.4 103 ln 0.5
t = 8.9 10-3 s
