Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

In circuit (1), on closing the switch, the current in the inductor is zero due to self induction, ie, .
In circuit (2), on closing the switch the current in the inductor is zero due to self induction.

Therefore,

In circuit (3), on closing the switch, the current in the inductor is again zero due to the same reason.

Therefore,

Thus, it is obvious that,
