Read the RC-transient class notes.
For the circuit shown,
- R = 1.5 kΩ
- C = 15 μF
- VS = 4 V
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 = -10 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 0.5 V and calculate the capacitor current at that time.
