Resistance Question: Series or Parallel?

[Yammy]

Homework Statement

I just want to know if the resistances are in parallel or series.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

The ends of the resistances are not connected to each other ( there are other circuit elements in between). So, that's why I don't think they are in parallel. But then again the current through R1 and R2 won't be equal would they? So what should Requivalent be?

The problem is asking about conditions at time t = 0⁺. Your first order of business should be to replace the reactive elements (capacitor, inductor) with their equivalent resistances at that instant. Then look at the circuit again.

I don't see any R1 and/or R2, but if you are talking about the 5ohm and 20ohm resistors, I can't imagine why you would think the current through them would be the same. Am I perhaps misunderstanding what you are saying?
