1 Consider the circuit below, with known values of R, C, and ε. Initially both switches are open and the capacitors have no charge. [Note that this circuit has been drawn to maximally obfuscate what is going on and it will be helpful to redraw it:]
Switch SA is closed. What are the currents I1, I2 and I3 just after the switch is closed? (b) You wait long time after SA is closed and then examine the circuit. What are the voltages and charges on each capacitor? (c) Now the switch SB is closed: What are the voltages and charges on each capacitor after SB has been closed for long time?
