Consider that the switch S1 in the circuit shown in Fig. 5 is open for a long time, and it is closed at t=0. Find I(t) for t>0. S1 I1 SW L1 1.5A R1 10 R2 10 15mH Fig. 5

In the circuit of the figure below, the switch has been open for a long time. It is then suddenly closed. Take Ε = 10.0 V, R1 = 47.0 kΉ, R2 = 195 kΉ, and C = 15.0 μF. (a) Determine the time constant before the switch is closed. (b) Determine the time constant 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. (Assume I is in A and t is in s. Do not enter units in your expression. Use the following as necessary: t.)

The switch in FIGURE P34.80 has been open for a long time. It is closed at $t=0 \mathrm{s}$ a. After the switch has been closed for a long time, what is the current in the circuit? Call this current $I_{0}$. b. Find an expression for the current $I$ as a function of time. Write your expression in terms of $I_{0}, R,$ and $L$ c. Sketch a current-versus-time graph from $t=0$ s until the current is no longer changing.
