Question

Assume both switches $S_1$ and $S_2$ in Figure PS. 21 close at $t=0$. a. Find the capacitor voltage, $v_c(t)$, at $t=0^{+}$. b. Find the time constant, $\tau$, for $t \geq 0$. c. Find an expression for $v_c(t)$ and sketch the function. d. Find $v_c(t)$ for each of the following values of $t$ : $0, \tau, 2 \tau, 5 \tau, 10 \tau$.
