Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 10 Ω
  • C = 470 μF

For the RC circuit, the current source has been at an initial value of Ii = 1.4 A for a long time. At t = 0, the source current abruptly drops to If = -0.8 A.

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