a

After S1 has been closed for a long time, S1 is opened and S2 is closed (keeping S3 opened ) at t=0 then the current through inductor for any time t>0 is zero

b

After S1 has been closed for a long time, S1 is opened and S2 , S3 are closed  at t=0, then the current through battery as a function of time is zero

c

After  S1  has been closed for a long time, S1  is opened and  S2  is closed (keeping  S3  opened) at t=0, then the current through inductor as a function of time is ER[e  RtL]

d

If S1 is closed at t= 0, keeping S2 and S3 open, then the magnetic energy stored in the inductor at t=  is LE22R2   

answer is A, C, D.

Detailed Solution

When S1 is closed and (S2,S3) are open then, circuit is simply L-R circuit in which current is growing with time. Current in circuit at t= is J=ER, So magnetic energy stored in the inductor at  t=  is LI22=LE22R.  When S2 is closed and S1 is opened the inductor gets shorted but there is no potential difference across the inductor and hence current through inductor for any time t > 0 is zero. When S2,S3 both are closed and S1 is opened, then battery gets disconnected from circuit and is apart of open circuit, so no current flows through battery in this situation.
