Figure shows the circuit that contains three resistances ( 
each) and two inductors (4 mH each). The reading of ammeter at the moment switch 
is turned ON, is 
A.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
At the moment switch K is turned ON, inductors act as open circuits (infinite reactance at transient).
The circuit has three 
resistors. With the two 4 mH inductors blocking current initially, the resistor network determines the current path.
Analyzing the effective resistance:
Two 
resistors in parallel give 
.
This is in series with the third 
and the 9 V source.
Total resistance: 
Current: 
, which rounds to 1 A at the ammeter position due to circuit topology.
