Answer is B. Because

During steady state, S2 is open, means; the last inductor is cut off from the circuit. So, what we have is, 6 Ohm, 4 ohm and 1 H. And since, it's the DC current which is flowing, inductor acts a short circuit at steady state. ...

  • Circuit Analysis

    321803 Circuit Analysis: Electronically-Controlled Switch See the attached file. In the circuit of attached figure, S1 is an electronically-controlled switch. It closes at time t = 0 seconds and opens again at time t = 50 milliseconds.

  • Circuits with capacitators

    If the switch S_1 was closed at t = 0 and if the capacitor had no charge on it at that point (having being used for a flash), than we should have Q=0 at t=0.

  • Circuits with capacitors

    If the switch S_1 was closed at t = 0 and if the capacitor had no charge on it at that point (having being used for a flash), than we should have Q=0 at t=0.

  • RL Circuit Analysis

    42140 RL Circuit Analysis In the following circuit (see attachment), assume that the switch has been open for a long time, and that it closes at time = 0 seconds. The switch remains closed thereafter. How do I solve for Vx(t) and Ix(t) as shown?

  • Flashbulb Circuit for Flash Unit

    The circuit consists of a 9 V battery (V) connected to a 55 kΩ resistor (R), a 140 μF capacitor (C), and two switches (S1 and S2). Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the two switches are open. To charge the unit, switch S1 is closed.

  • Solving for Voltage and Current in a Switch Circuit

    The solution solves for vx(t) and ix(t) as shown in the circuit diagram. A circuit with long time switches closed are analyzed.

  • inductor current after the switch closes

    When the switch is open, at the steady state, the inductor is treated as a short circuit, so the current at t = 0- is Therefore, it gives the initial current when the switch is just closed.

  • RL Circuits: Growth and decay of current in inductor

    72178 RL Circuits: Growth and decay of current in inductor See attached circuit. Note current source is 2A,Resistors are 2 Ohms, Inductor 2H. Assume that the switch has been open for a long time and that it closes at t=0 sec.

  • Steady State Conditions

    The current through the inductor will thus be equal to 2 mA at steady state. The circuit is not in steady state when the switch is opened. This solution determines if an RL circuit is at steady-state.
