Consider again the circuit in Figure P21.42.
(a) Suppose the switch is closed for a very long time. How much energy is stored in the inductor?
(b) If the switch is then opened, where does this energy go? Explain.



Figure 21.42

 R2 = 500 N R1 L = 4.5 mH V = 3.0 V 800 Ω

R2 = 500 N R1 L = 4.5 mH V = 3.0 V 800
