Read the RC-transient class notes.


For the circuit shown,

  • R = 3.3 kΩ
  • C = 68 μF

For the RC circuit, the source voltage has been at an initial voltage of Vi = 21 V for a long time. At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly drops to Vf = 2 V.

Determine the expression for the capacitor voltage as a function of time, for t > 0.

Calculate the time when the capacitor voltage will be equal to 5.17 V and calculate the capacitor current at that time.
