23.10 Exercise 9

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) Use the exact exponential treatment to find how much time is required to bring the current through an 80.0 mH inductor in series with a 15.0 Ω \text{15}.\text{0 }\Omega resistor to 99.0% of its final value, starting from zero. (b) Compare your answer to the approximate treatment using integral numbers of τ\tau. (c) Discuss how significant the difference is.
