Question:

An inductance L and resistance R are connected in series with a battery as in Figure. A long time after switch S1 is closed, the current is 2.5 A. When the battery is switched out of the circuit by opening switch S1 and closing S2, the current drops to 1.5 A in 45 ms.

(a) What is the time constant for this circuit?

(b) If R = 0.4 ?, what is L?
