Question
Unknown Capacitance: For the circuit below, the switch has been closed for a
relatively long time. Now, at t= 0, the switch becomes open.
In the circuit, R1 = 300 2, R2 = 500 2, R3 = 100 N. The voltage source is Vs=12V.
(a) For t<0 while the switch is still closed,
What is the current through the capacitor? What is the voltage across the capacitor?
(b) At the instant just after the switch is open, t= 0+,
What is the current through the resistor R2?
(c) At t=4 ms, the voltage across the capacitor Ve becomes 3.6V. Please determine the
capacitance of the capacitor.
