Transcribed Image Text:A circuit is constructed with four resistors,
one capacitor, one battery and a switch as
shown. The values for the resistors are: R1 =
R2 = 21 Q, R3 = 108 Q and R4 = 101 Q. The
capacitance is C = 59 µF and the battery
voltage is V = 12 V. The positive terminal of
the battery is indicated with a + sign.

1) The switch has been open for a long time when at time t = 0, the switch
is closed. What is l4(0), the magnitude of the current through the resistor
R4 just after the switch is closed?
0.086
A Submit
2) What is Q(0), the charge on the capacitor after the switch has been
closed for a very long time?
332.45
µC Submit
3) After the switch has been closed for a very long time, it is then opened.
What is Q(topen), the charge on the capacitor at a time topen = 674 µs
after the switch was opened?
304.275
µC Submit
+
4) What is Ic,max(closed), the current that flows through the capacitor
whose magnitude is maximum during the time when the switch is
closed? A positive value for the current is defined to be in the direction of
the arrow shown.
