Let's say you have a battery, resistor and a coil in a circuit. The current in the circuit has reached a constant value. The coil won't have inductance because the current is not changing and inductors need a changing current to work.
The next part asks if the coil affects the value of the current in the circuit. I believe that is would. As the current changes it adds more resistance but as the current is steady doesn't an inductor act like an ideal wire?
Okay so it wouldnt change the current. Right?
