Chapter 7, Problem 12.
The switch in the circuit of Fig. 7.92 has been closed for a long time. At t = 0 the switch
is opened. Calculate i ( t ) for t > 0.

For Prob. 7.12.
Chapter 7, Solution 12.
When t < 0, the switch is closed and the inductor acts like a short circuit to dc. The 4 Ω
resistor is short-circuited so that the resulting circuit is as shown in Fig. (a).
i( 0 )= =

Since the current through an inductor cannot change abruptly,
i( 0 )= i( 0 )=i( 0 )= 4 A
