Problem: RL Circuits (10 pts.)
Consider the RL circuit shown in the diagram. When studying RL circuits, it helps to remember the behavior of inductors at two times:
1. Right after any change is made in the circuit, an inductor will maintain the same current that was flowing through it before the change.
2. After a long time, an inductor behaves like a wire.
A.(3 pts.) Find the three currents \( I_{1}, I_{2}\), and \( I_{3}\) right after the switch is first closed.
B.(3 pts.) Find the three currents \( I_{1}, I_{2}\), and \( I_{3}\) after the currents have reached steady-state values.
C.(3 pts.) Find the three currents \( I_{1}, I_{2}\), and \( I_{3}\) at the instant the switch is reopened after being closed for a long time.
D.(1 pt.) What is the emf across the inductor the instant the switch is opened in part (C)?
