**QUESTION 4**

Find the time constant \( T \) for the circuit below. The inductor is considered lossless, or ideal in all of the inductor transient problems. Merely write the number; the answer is understood to be in \(\mu\)seconds.

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

- The circuit contains a voltage source \( E \) with a value of 50 V.
- A switch is present, labeled near a node in the circuit.
- The circuit includes a resistor \( R_1 \) with a resistance of 5 kΩ.
- The circuit path has an inductor \( L \) with an inductance of 10 mH.
- The current through the inductor is denoted as \( I_L \).
- There is a voltage across the inductor labeled \( v_L \).

**Analysis Instructions:**

To calculate the time constant (\( T \)) for the provided circuit, use:

\[ T = \frac{L}{R} \]

where:
- \( L \) is the inductance (10 mH),
- \( R \) is the resistance (5 kΩ).

Express your answer in microseconds (\(\mu\)s).
