An inductor of inductance $ L = 400\: mH$ and resistors of resistances $R1 = 2\Omega$ and $R2 = 2\Omega$ are connected to a battery of $emf\: 12V$ as shown in the figure. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible. The switch $K$ is closed at $t= 0$. The potential drop across $L$ as a function of time is
