The circuit shown in Figure below is at steady state before the switch closes at time $t = 0$. Determine the capacitor voltage, $v(t)$, for $t ge 0$. Be sure to redraw the circuit before $t = 0$ and after $t = 0$.

Therefore, the 6Ω resistor has no current flowing through it and does not affect the circuit. The voltage across the capacitor is the same as the voltage source, which is 3V. The circuit before t = 0 can be simplified by removing the 6Ω resistor and showing the Show more…

In the circuit, the capacitor is initially uncharged. At $t=0$, switch $S$ is closed. Find the currents $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ and voltages $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ (assuming $V_{3}=0$ ) at points 1 and 2 at $(a) t=0$ (i.e., just after the switch is closed ) and at (b) $t=1.0 \mathrm{ms}$.
