**Problem Statement:**
Find and plot the current \( i(t) \) in the circuit shown.
**Circuit Description:**
- **Voltage Source:** 12 V DC
- **Inductor:** 2 H (Henry)
- **Resistors:** Two resistors, each with a resistance of 6 Ω
- **Switch:** Initially open and then closed at \( t = 0 \)
**Circuit Configuration:**
The circuit consists of a 12 V battery connected in series with a 2 H inductor and two 6 Ω resistors. The switch is in series with the inductor and one of the resistors. Upon closing the switch at \( t = 0 \), it allows current to flow through the circuit.
The current \( i(t) \) that needs to be determined flows through the inductor and both resistors once the switch is closed.
**Analysis Tips:**
- Use Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) for circuit analysis.
- Consider the effects of the inductor at \( t = 0^+ \) (just after the switch is closed) and as \( t \rightarrow \infty \) (steady state).
- The response may be solved using the differential equation governing RL circuits, which typically involves exponential decay functions.
**Objectives:**
1. Determine the expression for \( i(t) \).
2. Plot the current \( i(t) \) over time, showing the transient and steady-state behaviors.
