Question: a . What is the initial current through resistor R _ ( 2 ) when the switch is closed ( t = 0 ) ?

a. What is the initial current through resistor R_(2) when the switch is closed (t=0)?
Current through R_(2) at t=0 is
b. What is the current through resistor R_(2) when the capacitor is fully charged, long after the switch is
closed (t->\infty )?
Current through R_(2) as t->\infty is
c. What happens if the switch is opened after it has been closed for some time? Choose the most
correct statement below.
Current flows through C_(1) but not R_(1) or R_(2).
No current flows anywhere in the circuit.
Current flows through V_(1),R_(1),R_(2), and C_(1).
Current flows through R_(1) and C_(1) but not R_(2).
Current flows through C_(1) and R_(2) but not R_(1).
d. If the switch has been closed for a time period long enough for the capacitor to become fully
charged, and then the switch is opened, how long before the current through resistor R_(1) reaches
half of its initial value?
