RL Time Constant

Find the current-rise time constant for a resistor-inductor circuit.

Safety first, always.

ElectroLab AI teaches theory, low-voltage electronics, and planning concepts. Mains voltage, switchboards, fixed wiring, high-current systems, and legal electrical work must only be performed by licensed electricians where required.

Formula notes

tau = L / R

Inductors can kick voltage back when switched. Add flyback protection around coils.
