Consider the circuit shown below with all the switches s1


Consider the circuit shown below, with all the switches S1 through S400 initially open. 400 "switch demons" then converge on the circuit and perform the following actions. Switch demon #1 toggles (i.e., closes an open switch, or opens a closed switch) every switch S1 through S400• Switch demon #2 then toggles every second switch, i.e., switches S2, S4, S6, S8, etc. Switch demon #3 then toggles every third switch, i.e., switches S3, S6, S9, etc. This continues in analogous fashion for the remaining switch demons #4 through #400, after which all the switch demons leave.

Calculate the resulting current I in the circuit in its final state. Justify your answer and explain your reasoning in detail.
