Answer

We can rank the circuits according to the value of $L$: $c \gt b \gt a$

Work Step by Step

We can write an equation for the current across the resistor: $i = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{R}~(1-e^{-tR/L})$ According to this equation, the current increases more slowly as the value of $L$ increases. Therefore, $V_R$ increases more slowly as the value of $L$ increases. We can rank the circuits according to the value of $L$: $c \gt b \gt a$
