Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 150 Ω
  • C = 4.7 nF

For the RC circuit, the current source has been at an initial value of Ii = 0.17 A for a long time. At t = 0, the source current abruptly drops to If = -50 mA.

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