The switch in the figure is open for a very long time and then closed at t = 0. What is the current through R1 immediately after the switch is closed? ( Use V = 3.5 V, R1 = 848 , R2 = 548 , L = 7.2 mH )
After the switch has been closed for a long time what is the current through R1?
After the switch has been closed for a long time what is the current through R2?

Hi Havoc0040. Welcome to Physics Forums.

What is your question about this problem? What have you already tried?
 
sorry i was able to figure this one out

The switch is now opened. What is the current through R11 immediately after the switch is opened? this is my question i thought it was 0 but that's not right
