Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R1 = 680 Ω
  • R2 = 470 Ω
  • R3 = 270 Ω
  • C = 4.7 μF

In the RC circuit, the source voltage has been at an initial voltage of Vi = -9 V for a long time. At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly jumps to Vf = 30 V.

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