Answer: At $t=0^-$, the inductor acts as short circuit and hence the current at $t=0^-$is given as ,
$i(0^-)=25 \times \dfrac{140}{140+60}$
$\therefore i(0^-)=17.5A$
Since the current through the inductor cannot change instantaneously,
$\therefore i(0^+)=17.5A$
For (t>0), the circuit is simplified by source transformation,
By writing the KVL equation for (t>0),
$-15i-0.3\dfrac{di}{dt}=0$
$\therefore \dfrac{di}{dt}+50i=0$
Comparing with the differential equation $\dfrac{di}{dt}+Pi=0$, we get
$P=50$
The solution of the differential equation is given by ,
$i(t)=ke^{-Pt}=ke^{-50t}$
At $t=0 , \space i(0)=17.5A$
$\therefore k=17.5$
Hence , $i(t)=17.5e^{-50t}$ for (t>0)
