I agree with @Soumya sen. Here we're considering transient condition. Thus inductor is open. Hence voltage across inductor is 6V. Current=0 ==>voltage drop across resistor is 0.

The inductor property is opposes to sudden changing current does not opposes voltage so total voltage appear across it.

Current is given by i = I(1-e^Rt/L),

When t=0, i= 0,
Emf = L*di/dt.

So voltage is zero. Answer is A.

Though it is DC source. At 0 instant the voltage will bot be 6 V.

The voltage has to raise from 0 to 6 volts, which is change in voltage. This change is not acceptable by the inductor. Hence initially the inductor acts as a open circuit.

For DC source inductor act as sort circuit the voltage is zero.

Under transient condition (Here:-closing of switch) inductor behaves like open circuit so voltage across inductor is 6.

After than current in the circuit gradually increase and after finite time inductor behaves short circuit so that voltage across it 0.

Here we know from transient analysis that when switch is on (t=0) then initially inductor behave like a open circuit. So no current flow through the circuit because of open circuit therefore no we drop across are and input we appear across L.

At t=0s ; f is infinite , and XL = 2pfL, hence XL is infinite.

Means open circuit.
Hence, the total voltage will be across an inductor and hence 6v.

The Answer is 6v as there is no back EMF produced by the current in the inductor when we just close the switch.

As according to AC formula, V=Vm(1-e^-rt\L) for RL circuit the value of voltage at inductor will be zero, for the instant when switch is closed dc will behave same as AC.
