3.1    For a specified current through an inductance, find the voltage across it, and vice versa. For a specified voltage across a capacitance, find the current through it, and vice versa. From the voltages and currents, find energy stored in inductances and capacitances. Find the equivalence of inductances in series and parallel and of capacitances in series and parallel.

3.4    For given RC and RL circuits (containing only one equivalent storage element) give qualitative explanations based on the interpretations that: (1) uncharged capacitance looks initially like a short circuit and finally like an open circuit, and (2) inductance with no initial current looks initially like an open circuit and finally like a short circuit.
