The time it takes for the current in an inductive circuit to reach its maximum value is determined by the time constant of the circuit, which is typically 5 times the inductance (L) divided by the resistance (R). Without the specific values of L and R or the figure mentioned, the correct answer cannot be directly calculated. However, in general, the time to reach maximum current in such circuits is often in the range of microseconds to milliseconds. Among the given options, 100 µS is a plausible time frame for many practical circuits, hence making it the most likely correct choice based on typical inductive circuit behavior.
