Inductors & DC Transients (Mixed)

For the given circuit the current i through the battery when the key is closed and the steady state has been reached is __________.

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. In steady state an ideal inductor acts as a plain wire.
  2. The three 3 Ω3\ \Omega branches are then in parallel: 3/3=1 Ω3/3 = 1\ \Omega.
  3. Total resistance =2+1=3 Ω= 2 + 1 = 3\ \Omega, so i=303=10 Ai = \frac{30}{3} = 10\text{ A}
  4. So the answer is (c) 10 A.
