6 The switch in the circuit of Fig.5-32 is a single-pole, double-throw switch that is drawn to
indicate that it closes one circuit before opening the other. Assuming the switch has been in
the position drawn in the figure for a long time, determine the value of v and i (a) the
instant just prior to the switch changing; (b) the instant just after the switch changes.
