Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R1 = 270 Ω
  • R2 = 390 Ω
  • R3 = 220 Ω
  • C = 150 nF

In the RC circuit, the source current has been at an initial of Ii = -70 mA for a long time. At t = 0, the source current abruptly jumps to If = 0.15 A.

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