Initially a 10 V battery is in series with a 100 ohm resistor and a 2 mH inductor. After a long time, a switch is thrown to remove the battery from the circuit, and replacing it with another 100 ohm resistor (and so the inductor ends up with two 100 ohm resistors in series). What is the current at t=0 s (immediately after the switch is thrown)? What is the current at t=5 s later?

Question

Initially a 10 V battery is in series with a 100 ohm resistor and a 2 mH inductor. After a
long time, a switch is thrown to remove the battery from the circuit, and replacing it
with another 100 ohm resistor (and so the inductor ends up with two 100 ohm resistors
in series).
What is the current at t=0 s (immediately after the switch is thrown)?
What is the current at t=5 s later?
