A capacitor with capacitance C has been connected to a resistor R 

A capacitor with capacitance C has been connected to a resistor R and an ideal battery with voltage V as shown in the figure. The capacitor is fully charged so no current flows before the switch is closed. At time t = 0 the switch S is closed connecting the capacitor to another resistor R and another ideal battery with 2V voltage (a) (5 Pts.) What is the charge on the capacitor before the switch is closed? (b) (5 Pts.) What is the final current on the left resistor (a very long time after the switch is closed)? (c) (5 Pts.) What is the final charge on the capacitor? (d) (5 Pts.) Find the voltage on the capacitor as a function of time after the switch is closed. 2V 1 S C= R www 13 R 1 V
