'la: The switch is closed in the circuit (below left). Assume that a current 11 passes through
RI, a current 12 passes through 1+2 and that a current 13 passes through L. Qualitatively
describe what happens in the circuit. Determine the size of the three currents at time zero
and at time infinity.
b: Use Kirchhoff's rules to determine each current as a function of time. Then verify that
the currents give the correct results at t = O and at t = x. If you cannot solve the system
of three equations (which you are definitely not required to do), then use my answer for 13
to determine 11 and 12. What is the effective time constant for this circuit?
