The figure shows two buck converters connected in parallel. The common input dc voltage
for the converters has a value of 100 V. The converters have inductors of identical value.
The load resistance is 1 $$\Omega $$. The capacitor voltage has negligible ripple. Both converters
operate in the continuous conduction mode. The switching frequency is 1 kHz, and the
switch control signals are as shown. The circuit operates in the steady state. Assuming that
the converters share the load equally, the average value of $${i_{S1}}$$, the current of switch S1 (in
Ampere), is _____ (up to 2 decimal places).
