An inductor of inductance $L = 400 \ mH$ and resistors of resistance $R_1 = 2 \ \Omega$ and $R_2 = 2 \ \Omega$ are connected to a battery of emf $E = 12 \ V$ as shown in the figure. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible. The switch $S$ is closed at $t = 0$. The potential drop across $L$ as a function of time is:

  • A
    $6e^{-5t} \ V$
  • B
    $\frac{12}{t}e^{-3t} \ V$
  • C
    $6(1 - e^{-t/0.2}) \ V$
  • D
    $12e^{-5t} \ V$

Regarding the given circuit,the correct statement is:

Consider an electrical circuit containing a two-way switch $S$. Initially,$S$ is open and then $T_{1}$ is connected to $T_{2}$. As the current in $R = 6 \, \Omega$ attains a maximum value of steady-state level,$T_{1}$ is disconnected from $T_{2}$ and immediately connected to $T_{3}$. The potential drop across the $r = 3 \, \Omega$ resistor immediately after $T_{1}$ is connected to $T_{3}$ is $.... \, V$. (Round off to the nearest integer)
