Read the RC-transient class notes.

For the circuit shown,

• R = 1.8 Ω
• C = 470 nF
• I_S = 12 A

In the RC circuit, the switch has been open for a long time and closes at t = 0. Prior to the switch closing, the capacitor was charged to a voltage of V_i = 5 V.

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