    Current calculation of a Y-junction

    Hello everyone! I've been trying to solve this circuit but there's something wrong. Firstly, I made a Delta-Y conversion so that1 and zA were in series, and so were z5 and zb. I really don't know if writing "I0=IA-IB" is correct, cause basically I0 is the current that flows between the nodes A...

    Understanding Inductor Behavior When Transistors Are Off

    a. When the transistors are ON. ##V_{CC} = V_L## ##V_{CC} = L \frac{di_L} {dt} ## ##i_L = \frac{V_{CC}t} L ## b. I am bit confused when the transistor is "OFF" The point "A" is floating? The transistors and the diodes all the elements seem to be open is it correct? I am confused here.
