Answer

$\frac{\mathscr{E}_L}{\mathscr{E}} = \frac{1}{e^2}$

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for $\frac{di}{dt}$: $i = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{R}~(1-e^{-t/\tau_L})$ $\frac{di}{dt} = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{L}~e^{-t/\tau_L}$ We can find an expression for $\mathscr{E}_L$: $\mathscr{E}_L = -L~\frac{di}{dt}$ $\mathscr{E}_L = -(L)~(\frac{\mathscr{E}}{L}~e^{-t/\tau_L})$ $\mathscr{E}_L = -\mathscr{E}~e^{-t/\tau_L}$ When $t = 2.00~\tau_L$, then $\mathscr{E}_L = -\frac{\mathscr{E}}{e^2}$ The magnitude of $\mathscr{E}_L$ is $\frac{\mathscr{E}}{e^2}$ Therefore: $\frac{\mathscr{E}_L}{\mathscr{E}} = \frac{1}{e^2}$
