Read the RC-transient class notes.

For the circuit shown,

• R₁ = 3.3 Ω
• R₂ = 5.6 Ω
• R₃ = 8.2 Ω
• C = 4.7 μF

In the RC circuit, the source current has been at an initial of I_i = 5 A for a long time. At t = 0, the source current abruptly jumps to I_f = 18 A.

Determine the expression for the capacitor voltage as a function of time, for t > 0.
