Read the RC-transient class notes.

For the circuit shown,

• R = 470 Ω
• C = 2.2 μF

For the RC circuit, the source voltage has been at an initial voltage of V_i = -1 V for a long time. At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly jumps to V_f = 15 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 2.2 V and calculate the capacitor current at that time.
