Q. When a battery is connected across a series combination of self inductance $L$ and Resistance $R,$ the variation in the current $i$ with time $t$ is best represented by

A) [image:6_image36.emf]
B) [image:6_image37.emf]
C) [image:6_image38.emf]
D) [image:6_image39.emf]
Explanation

(b) $i = i_{0}\left( 1 - e^{- \frac{R}{L}t} \right).$ At $t = 0,\ i = 0$
At $t \gg \tau( = L/R),\ i = i_{0}$
