Starting from Zero, an Electric Current Is Established in a Circuit

question 77

Multiple Choice

Starting from zero, an electric current is established in a circuit made of a battery of emf E, a resistor of resistance R and an inductor of inductance L. The electric current eventually reaches its steady-state value. What would be the effect of using an inductor with a larger inductance in this circuit?

• A)The steady-state value of the current would be larger, but it would take the same amount of time to reach it.
• B)The steady-state value of the current would be the same, but it would take more time to reach it.
• C)The steady-state value of the current would be the same, but it would take the same amount of time to reach it.
• D)The steady-state value of the current would be larger, but it would take more time to reach it.
• E)The steady-state value of the current would be the same, but it would take less time to reach it.
