I am sorry, if the question seem stupid, I am new to this: What happens if you have a circuit with an inductor (that is saturated and passing current in one direction acting as a wire) and then you open switches on both sides and disconnect the inductor?
According to theory current can't change instantaneously though the inductor - so it can't go to zero - but if you have physically severed any conductor routes where it can flow though, what happens?
Also another question: suppose you have a voltage source connected to an inductor, but on one side there is a wire loop after the inductor is saturated a swithis opened in the circuit and the inductor is connected only to the loop.
Would the current start circulating in the closed loop then?
