What's now called "Conventional current" is thought of as the flow of positive charge, from the battery's positive terminal to its negative one.
But it turns out that positive charges don't flow. The physical flow of charge is the flow of electrons. They come out of the battery's negative terminal, and carry negative charge around the circuit to the battery's positive one.
Answer: 5 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following :
Inductance (L) = 40 henry
Resistance = 8 ohms
The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.
THAT IS;
Time constant = L / R
THEREFORE ;
Time constant = 40 / 8
Time constant = 5 seconds
