In the circuit at right, switch S is closed, and is held that way for a very long time. The central branch of the circuit, having resistance R, has negligible self-inductance, but the branch of the right, having resistance 2R, has a non-negligible self-inductance L. If the switch is suddenly opened, what will be the voltage across the inductor at that instant? Express your answer as a fraction or multiple of ℰ, and make sure to explain which side of the inductor (top or bottom) is at higher poential.

Throughout this question, assume constant growth rates for each of the country groups that are equal to their average value between year 2000 and 2010 (column 2 of Table). Answer the following questions (show all the calculation steps to get the partial marks):
Compute the ratio of GDP per capita of the different income groups in year 2010 (expressed in the one decimal point in %): (1.5 mark, 0.5 each)
Middle- to High-income group
Low- to High-income group
Low- to Middle income group
Compute the approximate number of years it will take the Low-income and Middle-income countries to double their GDP per capita. (1 mark)
Approximate the GDP per capita for High-income, Middle-income and Low-income groups for the year 2088, and fill in column 3 of the Table. (1.5 mark, 0.5 each)
Repeat part a) of the question with the computed GDP per capita in year 2088 (1.5 mark, 0.5 each)
Now compare your answers in part a) and part d). Comment on any changes occurred between year 2010 and 2088. (2 mark)
