In the figure shown, a circuit contains two identical resistors with resistance R = 5   Ω and an inductance with L = 2   m H . An ideal battery of 15 V is connected in the circuit. What will be the current through the battery long after the switch is closed?
Options
- A5.5 A
- B6 A
- C3 A
- D7.5 A
Correct answer
B. 6 A
Step-by-step solution
After a long time, when the growth of current in the circuit has stopped, the inductor will work as a conductor. Therefore the effective resistance of the circuit will be, R = 5 2 = 2 . 5   Ω Hence, the current through the circuit will be, I = V R = 15 2.5 = 6 A
