When You Close the Switch S in the Figure, the Potential

question 9

Multiple Choice

When you close the switch S in the figure, the potential between A and B drops to zero. The current in the top loop does not immediately drop to zero because

• A) the top loop has less resistance than the bottom loop.
• B) an EMF is generated in the inductor L.
• C) an EMF is generated in the resistor R.
• D) the current depends only on the resistance in the circuit.
• E) Kirchhoff's junction rule states that the current into a junction must equal the current out of the junction.
