Answer

The current in inductor 1 is $~~0.75~A$

Work Step by Step

When the circuit is in a steady state, the inductors act like ordinary wires. All of the current in the circuit will flow around the outside loop and no current will flow through $R_2$ We can find the current in the circuit: $i = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{R_1}$ $i = \frac{6.0~V}{8.0~\Omega}$ $i = 0.75~A$ The current in inductor 1 is $~~0.75~A$
