The discussion centers on the behavior of current in a circuit with a 12V source and a 4k ohm resistor when a short circuit is introduced by making an inductor behave as a short for an infinite duration. It is established that the current will preferentially take the path of least resistance, which is through the short circuit, effectively bypassing the 12V and 4k ohm resistor. The resistance of a short circuit is considered to be zero ohms, leading to the conclusion that the current will not flow through the resistor in this scenario.
PREREQUISITESElectrical engineers, electronics students, and anyone interested in circuit analysis and design will benefit from this discussion.
seto6 said:ok this is what i have, i want to know if the current would go through the 12V and 4k ohm resistor, since there is a short path (by making the inductor a short for time = infinity) would the current be lazy and take the path through the short or would it also go through the 12v and 4k ohm.
