Initial Conditions of Circuit with SC & OC: Confused?

[jojoba]

This is the circuit at t(0-); Initial conditions need to be determined:

Capacitor is replaced by an open circuit and inductor is replaced with a short circuit:

These are the initial conditions I get:

I through inductor (0-) = 3 A

V across capacitor ( 0-) = 0 ( in parallel w/ SC)

Am I missing something? This is not making any sense to me.

It is understandable to feel confused when first encountering a circuit with SC (short circuit) and OC (open circuit) components. However, it is important to carefully analyze the initial conditions of the circuit in order to understand its behavior. In this case, the capacitor has been replaced with an open circuit, meaning that there is no current flowing through it at t(0-). On the other hand, the inductor has been replaced with a short circuit, meaning that there is no voltage drop across it at t(0-). Therefore, the initial conditions you have determined are correct. It is important to note that these initial conditions will change as the circuit evolves over time, so it is crucial to continue monitoring and analyzing the circuit's behavior. Additionally, it may be helpful to review the basic principles of how SC and OC components affect a circuit's behavior.
