Answer: 0.104 seconds


We are given a Series L-R Circuit. Our data is:


L = 300 \, \, mH = 300 \times 10^{-3} \, \, H = 0.3 \, \, H \\ \\ R = 2 \,\, \Omega \\ \\ V = 2 \, \, V


The current through an inductor while it is charging is given by:


\boxed{I = I_{\circ}\left(1-e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}\right)}

Here, I_{\circ} represents the Current in Steady State. 


We are asked the time when the current becomes half of that in steady state. 

So we will put I=\frac{I_{\circ}}{2} in the equation. 


I = I_{\circ}\left(1-e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}\right) \\ \\ \\ \implies \frac{I_{\circ}}{2} = I_{\circ}\left(1-e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}\right) \\ \\ \\ \implies 1-e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}} =\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ \implies 1-\frac{1}{2} = e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}} \\ \\ \\ \implies e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ \implies \frac{1}{e^{\frac{Rt}{L}}} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ \implies e^{\frac{Rt}{L}} = 2 \\ \\ \\ \implies \frac{Rt}{L} = \ln 2 \\ \\ \\ \implies t = \frac{L}{R} \ln 2


\implies t = \frac{0.3}{2} \times \ln 2 \\ \\ \\ \implies \boxed{\bold{t \approx 0.104 \, \, s}}



Thus, The Current reaches half of its steady state value in approximately 0.104 seconds.
