Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 82 kΩ
  • C = 22 μF

For the RC circuit, the source voltage has been at an initial voltage of Vi = 0 V for a long time. At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly jumps to Vf = 23 V.

Determine the expression for the capacitor voltage as a function of time, for t > 0.

Calculate the time when the capacitor voltage will be equal to 4.6 V and calculate the capacitor current at that time.
