Q14. How would you plot the data in such a way that tests whether it obeys the <strong>RL</strong> circuit<br />
equations? (Note that the easiest type of data to fit is a straight line! So, think about how to<br />
transform the equation into a form that allows you to see whether the data follows a straight line.<br />
Think logarithms! You may need to make new columns in your Excel file) Include this plot with<br />
your report. From the plot, determine the value of the time constant. Explain below how you did<br />
this and include any comments that you can about the size of the time constant. (Include your<br />
new graph.)<br />
