Solution : The given circuit is redrawn below :

(see attached file)

a) In the steady state there will be i) no current through the capacitors (as the capacitors are fully charged) and ii) the potential drop across the inductor will be zero (because there is induced emf across an inductor as long as the current through it is varying and at steady state, the currents in the circuit are constant).

Let the current being supplied by the battery be i. Then applying Kirchhoff's current rule we get : i = i2 - i1 .........(1)

Applying Kirchhoff's voltage rule ...
