1. The time constant t = L/R seconds ==> R = L/t = 0.17/0.13 = 1.31 Ohms

2. t = 0.4/1000 = 4*10^-4 sec
When it reaches 3V across the resistor, the circuit current will be,
3/1000 = 3mA
We have I = (V/R) * [1 - Exp(-R/L)t]
Or, 3/1000 = (12/1000)*[1 - Exp(-1000/0.4)t]

1 = 4 [1 - Exp(-1000/0.4)t]

= 4 * [1 - Exp(-2500)t]
[1 - Exp(-2500)t] = 0.25 ====> Exp(-2500)t = 0.75

Taking log on both sides.. ==>-2500t = -0.1249

==> t = 0.00004996 Second = 49.96 micro seconds

3. The product R C is called the "time ...
