Question

Transcribed Image Text:The switch in the circuit shown in (Figure 1) has been
closed for a long time, and the current through the
battery and the charge on the capacitor are no longer
changing. At t=0 the switch is opened. Determine the
following in terms of R, C, E, and t: (a) the initial current
through the battery; (b) the initial charge on the capacitor;
(c) the power being delivered to the second (vertical)
resistor the moment after the switch is opened; (d) the
time it takes the charge on the capacitor to fall to half of
its original value after the switch is opened.
