i0(0) = 10 A
i1(0) = 20 A
The currents through the inductors flow from top to bottom. And v(t) is + on top and - on bottom

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Find the voltage v(t) over both inductors.
Since the current going through both inductors is 30 amps total, I get 30*48 ohms
v(t) = 1440 e^(-600t) [\tex]<br /> unfortunately, according to my book it&#039;s -1440 for the coefficient, what am I doing wrong?<br /> I really don&#039;t see why it would be negative, both of the currents are flowing in the same direction

The current going through the resistor is going from bottom from top. So the bottom must be more positive than the top
