MC 15 The switch in the circuit to the right is opened after having been closed for a long time. Just after it is opened, the ammeter reads a current going clockwise in the closed loop. Which of the following combinations of circuit elements in the mystery boxes could account for this behavior? a. #1 is a resistor, #2 is an inductor b. #1 is a resistor, #2 is a capacitor c. #1 is an inductor, H2 is a capacitor d. All of these could account for this behavior. e. There is no way to tell which of the three choices above works (if any), without knowing which of the two resistors shown has the greater resistance

Explanation / Answer

Here , for the current going in clockwise direction

a) 1 is resistor and 2 is inductor ,

as the inductor will try to maintain the current in the circuit

for other options , the direction of current will be different
