Step 1

When the switch is closed for a long time, the inductor L will act as a short circuit, and the current flowing through it will be maximum. Let's call this current IL. When the switch opens at t = 0, the inductor will resist the change in current, and the Show more…

The switch in the circuit shown has been closed for a long time. The switch opens at t = 0. For t> 0+: a)find vo(t) as a function of Ig, R1, R2, and L. b) explain what happens to vo(t) as R2 gets larger. c)find vSW as a function of Ig, R1, R2, and L. d) explain what happens to vSW as R2 gets larger.
