Consider the circuit below, which uses transistors to control the current flowing through an inductive
load. For the Q1 and Q2 transistors, if they are on, assume they are in saturation.a. When the switch is open, is Q1 on or off? Briefly explain your reasoning. b. Also, when the switch is open, is Q2 on or off? Briefly explain your reasoning.c. Lastly, when the switch is open, does current flow through the inductive load? Briefly explain
your reasoning.d. What is IR2 when the switch is open? Show your work.e. Assume Q2 has been on (and in saturation) for a long time. What is I? f. Find the power dissipated by Q2(neglect the base current and VBE).
