- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Interpret the circuit behavior at and
This is a standard transient question for a circuit containing an inductor (or RL network).
- At , the inductor behaves like an open circuit.
- At , the inductor behaves like a short circuit.
So we reduce the circuit in these two limiting cases and find the current in each case.
-
At
Replacing the inductor by an open circuit and simplifying the resistor network, the equivalent current in the required branch comes out to
-
At
Replacing the inductor by a short circuit and simplifying the new resistor combination, the branch current becomes
-
Match with the options
We obtained:
This matches Option C.
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Derived answer: CHence, they agree.
