A circuit consists of a coil, a switch, and a battery, all in series. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible compared with that of the coil. The switch is originally open. It is thrown closed, and after a time interval Δt, thecurrent in the circuit reaches 80.0% of its final value. The switch then remains closed for a time interval much longer than Δt. The wires connected to the terminals of the battery are then short-circuited with another wire and removed from the battery, so that the current is uninterrupted. (a) At an instant that is a time interval Δt after the short circuit, the current is what percentage of its maximum value? (b) At the moment 2Δt after the coil is short-circuited, the current in the coil is what percentage of its maximum value?
