The switch in the circuit shown has been closed for a long time and is opened at t = 0. Find a) the initial value of v(t), b) the time constant for t > 0, the numerical expression for i(t) after the switch has been opened, the initial energy stored in the capacitor, and the length of time required to dissipate 75% of the initially stored energy. 20 kΩ 75 mA 80 kΩ 0.4 µF 50 kΩ Answer: (a) 200 V; (b) 20 ms; (c) 200e^-50t V, t >= 0; (d) 8 mJ; (e) 13.86 ms
