Inductance using Time Constant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Inductance = Time Constant*Resistance
L = τ*R
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Inductance - (Measured in Henry) - Inductance is the tendency of an electrical conductor to oppose a change in the electric current flowing through it. The flow of electric current creates a magnetic field around the conductor.
Time Constant - (Measured in Second) - Time constant is the response representing the elapsed time required for the system response to decay to zero if the system had continued to decay at the initial rate.
Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Time Constant: 21 Millisecond --> 0.021 Second (Check conversion here)
Resistance: 60 Ohm --> 60 Ohm No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = τ*R --> 0.021*60

Evaluating ... ...

L = 1.26

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.26 Henry -->1260 Millihenry (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1260 Millihenry <-- Inductance
