Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 100 Ω
  • C = 6.8 μF

For the RC circuit, the switch has been open for a long time and closes at t = 0. Prior to the switch closing, the capacitor was charged to a voltage of Vi = -8 V.

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

Calculate the capacitor voltage and capacitor current at t = 2.04 ms.
