Finding the voltage across an inductor when opening the switch [closed]

Well, I've the following circuit: In the circuit I want to find the voltage $\text{V}_{\text{Y}_1}\left(t\right)$ as a function of time, after I open the switch (this switch was closed 'forever' ...

Current in the inductor at $t=0$

$L_1 = 5H, L_2=0.2H, M=0.5H, R_0=10 Ω$, and $i_g=e^{-10t}-10 A$. I need to find $i_2$. I've started with DE $$i_2R_0+L_2(di_2/dt)+M(di_g/dt)=0$$ and solved it for $i_2$, so $$i_2=0.625e^{-10t}+Ce^{-...

How do I show for an ideal transformer $M^2=L_1L_2$?

I've been stuck on this problem for about an hour. In an ideal transformer, the same flux passes through all turns of the primary and of the secondary . Show that in this case $M^2=L_1L_2$, where $...
