Sol. In steady state situation no current will flow through the capacitor, 2Ω and 3Ω are in parallel.
Therefore, their combined resistance will be
R = 
= 1.2 Ω
Net current through the battery:
i = 
= 15 A
This current will distribute in inverse ratio of their resistance 2Ω and 3Ω.
∴ 
= 
or i 2 = 
(15) = 9 A
