Current and voltage of inductor

+0

How do I find the current through the inductor and the voltage of the inductor after the switch is closed?

With the switch open, there is no current passing through the current source, which contradicts the fact that it is supplying a nonzero current. Perhaps, instead of a switch in series with the current source short circuiting at the start, you meant to have a switch in parallel with the current source open circuiting at the start?

The circuit isnt wrong but what you have suggested is a improvement of the current source/switch relationship.

MissMulan‭s A current source cannot exist as opened (no load), in the same way a voltage source cannot exist as shorted out. The first will want to generate the specified current and since the impedance is infinite the voltage is infinite; similarly, a voltage source's internal resistance is zero, thus the voltage at the pins ends up divided by zero.
