Answer

$L = 97.9~H$

Work Step by Step

We can find the inductance of the coil: $i = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{R}~(1-e^{-tR/L})$ $\frac{i~R}{\mathscr{E}} = 1-e^{-tR/L}$ $e^{-tR/L} = 1-\frac{i~R}{\mathscr{E}}$ $e^{tR/L} = \frac{1}{1-\frac{i~R}{\mathscr{E}}}$ $\frac{tR}{L} = ln(\frac{1}{1-\frac{i~R}{\mathscr{E}}})$ $L = \frac{tR}{ln(\frac{1}{1-\frac{i~R}{\mathscr{E}}})}$ $L = \frac{(5.00\times 10^{-3}~s)(10,000~\Omega)}{ln(\frac{1}{1-\frac{(2.00\times 10^{-3}~A)(10,000~\Omega)}{50.0~V}})}$ $L = \frac{(5.00\times 10^{-3}~s)(10,000~\Omega)}{ln(\frac{1}{1-0.400})}$ $L = \frac{(5.00\times 10^{-3}~s)(10,000~\Omega)}{0.510826}$ $L = 97.9~H$
