Read the RC-transient class notes.

For the circuit shown,

• R = 15 kΩ
• C = 33 μF

For 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 = 12 V.

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

Calculate the time when the capacitor voltage will be equal to 1.5 V and calculate the capacitor current at that time.
