Answer

$t = 8.45~ns$

Work Step by Step

Note that the final value of the current is $\frac{\mathscr{E}}{R}$ We can find $t$: $i = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{R}~(1-e^{-tR/L})$ $0.800 =(1-e^{-tR/L})$ $e^{-tR/L} = 0.200$ $e^{tR/L} = 5.00$ $\frac{t~R}{L} = ln(5.00)$ $t = \frac{L}{R}~ln(5.00)$ $t = (\frac{6.30\times 10^{-6}~H}{1200~\Omega})~ln(5.00)$ $t = 8.45~ns$
