Consider an electrical circuit containing a two way switch 'S'. Initially S is open and then T1 is connected to T2. As the current in R = 6$\Omega$ attains a maximum value of steady state level, T1 is disconnected from T2 and immediately connected to T3. Potential drop across r = 3$\Omega$ resistor immediately after T1 is connected to T3 is __________ V. (Round off to the Nearest Integer)
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
What T1 and T2 are connected, then the steady state current in the inductor $I = {6 \over 6} = 1A$
When T1 and T3 are connected then current through inductor remains same. So potential difference across 3$\Omega$
V = Ir = 1 $\times$ 3 = 3 Volt
