Question: The capacitor in Figure P19.70 is initially uncharged, and both switches are open. What is the current through the battery the instant after switch S
The capacitor in Figure P19.70 is initially uncharged, and both switches are open. What is the current through the battery the instant after switch S1 is closed?

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.
