Question
The circuit in Figure P18.62 contains two resistors, R1 = 2.0
kΩ and R2 = 3.0 kΩ, and two capacitors, C1 = 2.0 µF and C2 =
3.0 µF, connected to a battery with emf ε = 120 V. If there are
no charges on the capacitors before switch S is closed, determine
the charges q1 and q2 on capacitors C1 and C2, respectively,
as functions of time, after the switch is closed. Hint: First
reconstruct the circuit so that it becomes a simple RC circuit
containing a single resistor and single capacitor in series, connected
to the battery, and then determine the total charge q
stored in the circuit.
