Time constant of an inductive circuit_________?

Correct answer: A. increases with increase of inductance and decrease of resistance

  • A. increases with increase of inductance and decrease of resistance
  • B. increases with the increase of inductance and the increase of resistance
  • C. increases with the decrease of inductance and decrease of resistance
  • D. increases with decrease of inductance and increase of resistance

Explanation

The inductive time constant is τ = L/R. Therefore, it increases with larger inductance and smaller resistance.
