P 7.7-1 Find the current i(t) for the circuit of Figure P 7.7-1

 

Answer:

Figure P 7.7-1

 

 

Since we have not been given i(0) we will assume it is zero.

 

 

Now since the current is the total current, L should be the total inductance.  The 6 H and the 3 H are in parallel so the effective inductance is found from

 

 

We then have two 2 H inductors in series which gives

 

 

 

Units would be Amps, so
