Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 1.8 Ω
  • C = 470 nF
  • IS = 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 Vi = 5 V.

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