Solve ysing step by step method
Before opening the switch at t=0, the switch was closed for long time. Hence all inductors are replaced by short circuit.
The circuit before opening the switch i.e. at t=0- is
Equivalent resistance of parallel combination of
Hence 5 A current is divided between .
Applying current division
Current i is further divided into i1 and i2.
Applying current division
The circuit just after opening the switch i.e. at t=0+ is
1 H and 2 H inductors can be replaced by their equivalent i.e. inductor.
Hence the circuit is modified to
The currents i1 (t=0+) and i2 (t=0+) are same as that of i1 (t=0-) and i2 (t=0-) as inductor oppose sudden change in current.
Gradullay i1 will increase and i2 will decrease. And at steady state both will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction as they are the currents in the ssame loop.
