An inductor with an iron core is connected in series with a resistor $R$ across an ideal $DC$ source. The circuit is in a steady state. If the iron core is removed, what happens to the current flowing through the inductor immediately after the removal of the core?

  • A
    Increases
  • B
    Decreases
  • C
    Remains unchanged
  • D
    First increases then decreases
