Solution

The correct option is C

20 V


In the steady state, the resistance of the inductor is zero, i.e. it behaves as a short circuit. Hence the circuit can be drawn as follows.

I2=3 A.

Therefore, p.d. across the branch in which I2 is flowing = 3×4=12 V.

Hence I1=126=2A.

I=I1+I2=2+3=5 A, which is the current flowing through 4Ω resistance.

So p.d across 4Ω resistance = 5×4=20 V.
