The figure below shows a circuit consisting of a 24.0 V battery in series with an inductor with inductance L = 14.0 H, a resistor with resistance R = 5.50 Ω, and a switch, initially open.

A circuit contains a battery, a switch, an inductor, and a resistor. The circuit starts at the positive terminal of the battery labeled emf, goes through the initally open switch labeled S, goes through the inductor labeled L, goes through the resistor labeled R and ends at the negative terminal of the battery.

(a) After the switch is closed, what is the maximum current (in A) that will flow through the circuit?

(b) What is the time constant (in s) of the circuit?

(c) After the switch is closed, how much time (in s) does it take for the current to reach 95.0% of its maximum value?
