As shown in the figure,a battery of $emf \; \varepsilon$ is connected to an inductor $L$ and resistance $R$ in series. The switch $S$ is closed at $t=0$. The total charge that flows from the battery between $t=0$ and $t=t_{c}$ ($t_{c}$ is the time constant of the circuit) is

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon L}{R^{2}}\left(1-\frac{1}{e}\right)$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon L}{e R^{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon L}{R^{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon R}{e L^{2}}$
