To get you started on Q1:

1. What is the current through the inductor just before the switch opens?
2. What is the current through the inductor just after the switch opens?
3. What is the current through the inductor a long time after the switch opens?
4. Where does the current flow while getting from 2. to 3.?
5. What is the shape of the inductor current vs. time while getting from 2. to 3.

To get you started in Q2:

1) What is the relationship between current and voltage for a resistor?
2) What is the relationship between current and voltage for a capacitor?
3) How do these relate to the voltage and current given in the problem?
4) What is the relationship between current and/or voltage and energy stored in a capacitor?
5) What condition are you looking for that will indicate 50% of the energy in the capacitor has been expended?

Now it's time for YOU to show YOUR attempts to solve YOUR homework problems.

Hellow~ I am a Electrical Engineering too
This is my answer for Q1
Please, this is the Homework HELP forum, not the Homework Done For You forum. The OP is expected to show some effort to work their own homework and then we are expected to help point out mistakes they are making and to help guide them toward a solution while letting the OP learn from their continued efforts.
