3. In the following network the switch has been in position 'a' for a long time. At t=0, the switch moves instantaneously to position 'b'. a. Draw circuit when the switch is in position 'a' and find the current $v_o(0)$ across capacitance for t < 0 b. Draw circuit when switch is in position 'b' for $t \ge 0$ and find the current $v_o(\infty)$ c. Find the total resistance seen by capacitance for t > 0, and find time constant $\tau$ d. Find the value of $v_o(t)$ across capacitance, and current $i_o(t)$ for t > 0 e. Find voltage $v_g(t)$, initial energy stored in capacitance W(0) and energy stored at t = 10 µ sec i.e. W(10 ? sec)

The switch moves instantaneously to position b. This means that the circuit is now in a new configuration where the capacitor is connected to the 10kΩ resistor and the 12.5kΩ resistor. Show more…

3.) For the circuit shown below, the switch has been in position a for a long time (capacitor is fully charged). At t=0, the switch instantaneously moves to position b. Find Vc and I1 for t>0 as a function of time.

The switch in the figure has been in position a for a long time. It is changed to position b at t = 0 s. What are the charge Q on the capacitor and the current through the resistor: (a) immediately after the switch is changed? (b) At t = 200 ms? (c) At t = 55 ms? (d) After a long time (t = ∞)? Given: Voltage (V) = 9.0 V Resistance (R) = 50 Ω Capacitance (C) = 2.0 μF
