हिन्दीFigure shows a circuit that contains three identical resistors with resistance \( R = 9.0\;\Omega \) each, two identical inductors with inductance \( L = 2.0\text{ mH} \) each, and an ideal battery with emf \( E = 18\text{ V} \). The current 'i' through the battery just after the switch closed is
Correct answer · Option 2
\( 2\text{ A} \)
Explanation
Just after the switch is closed, inductors offer infinite resistance (act as open circuits). The parallel branch with inductors carries no current, leaving only the resistor R in series: \( i = \frac{E}{R} = \frac{18}{9} = 2\text{ A} \).
