Question 41





Q41:In the circuit of Figure P28.41, the switch S has been open for a long time. It is then suddenly closed. Take e = V, R1 = Ω, R2 = Ω, and C = F. Determine the time constant
(a) before the switch is closed and
(b) after the switch is closed.
(c) Let the switch be closed at t = 0. Determine the current in the switch as a function of time.
