**Circuit Description and Analysis**

In this section, we will analyze the circuit depicted in Figure 3. The circuit consists of several resistors, a capacitor, and a voltage source. Let’s examine each component and their configuration:

### Circuit Diagram Description

- **Components:**
  - A 12V voltage source
  - Resistors: 12Ω, 20Ω, 80Ω, 5Ω, and 60Ω
  - A 50μF capacitor
  - A switch that can be opened or closed

- **Configuration:**
  - The 12Ω and 20Ω resistors are connected in parallel.
  - The resulting parallel combination is connected in series with an 80Ω resistor.
  - This series combination is then connected in parallel with a 50μF capacitor.
  - Finally, this is connected in series with a 5Ω resistor and the 12V voltage source.

### Analysis Tasks

1. **Find the Initial Voltage (v0):** 
   - Determine the initial voltage on the capacitor just before the switch is flipped.

2. **Find an Expression (v(t)):** 
   - Develop an expression that describes the voltage across the 20Ω resistor after the switch has been altered, allowing the circuit to reach a new state.

3. **Use Circuit-Specific Equations:**
   - Apply circuit-specific equations to get a value you can verify. Use this as a problem-solving strategy for various numerical exercises.

Remember, solving these steps will help you understand how circuits respond to changes and provide insight into their dynamic behavior.
