When an electric circuit is turned on, it take an unusually long amount of time for the current in the circuit to reach its maximum amount. This effect is most likely due to __________ . a. the number of nodes or branches in the circuit b. the temperature dependence of the total resistance in the circuit c. the excess static charge that resides on the surfaces of the wires in the circuit d. the self inductance of the wires and circuit elements e. the internal resistance of the power source
