1. The fish in the river of Aganan is now vanishing because of some people doing illegal fishing like poisoning
the river and others are by using electricity. The circuit shown below is the schematic diagram of the electrical
device, which are used by illegal fisher to catch fish by means of electricity. The 12 battery supplied the
inductor of 100 with internal resistance of 10 . The switch has been position as shown in figure 1.1
for a long period of time to allow full charging of an inductor. At an instant, the position of a switch is transfer
to another position as shown in figure 1.2. at time = 0, determine the equation of (), (), and the
voltage output 0 at that time.
