Solution Summary
This provides a calculation of a current in a circuit with an explanation of the steps.
Solution Preview
The time constant of the circuit is simply T = L/R = 50/12.5 = 4 second.
In RL (resistive & inductive) circuits, time constant is the time in seconds required for current to build up ...
