Consider the circuit in Figure P19.72 and assume the switch has been closed for a very long time. What is the current through the circuit? What are the charges on the two capacitors?


Figure P19.72


 R, R2 C2


In the circuits in Figures P19.67, P19.70, and P19.72, assume the resistance values are R1 = 1500Ω and R2 = 2400 Ω, and with capacitances C1 = 45 μF and C2 = 25 μF. The emf is ε = 5.5 V. The switches are labeled S.
