Question

A coil of self inductance 50H is joined to the terminals of a battery of emf 2V through a resistance of 10Ω and a steady current is flowing through the circuit. If the battery is now disconnected then time in which the current will decay to 1e of its steady value is

Solution

The correct option is C 5s
Current in circuit at steady state =210=0.2A=I0

Now, decay of current;

I=I0etτ

as I=1eI0

1eI0 =I0etτ

e1=etτ

or1=tτ

t=τ=LR=5s
