3. Shown below is a circuit with an ideal battery, a linear resistor, and an ideal inductor. This circuit has been connected for a very long time (with the switch open), and you measure the current through the inductor to be \( I_{A}\).
At time \( t_{1}\), you close the switch.
You then wait a long time until t_2 and measure the current through the inductor to be \( I_{B}\). Is \( I_{B}\) greater than, less than, or equal to \( I_{A}\)?
What about the current through the original resistor at t_1 and t_2? Greater than, less than or equal to \( I_{A}\)?
Explain in a few sentences.
3 . Shown below is a circuit with an ideal
