RL Time Constant

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The RL Time Constant is an essential tool for understanding RL Time Constant in quantitative terms. Calculate τ = L / R.

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = l ÷ r
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
l Inductance H
r Resistance Ω

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Inductance = 65 H
  • Resistance = 25 Ω

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 65 ÷ 25
