Question: Consider the circuit below with I 1 = 1 0 A , R 1 = 5 0 ohms, R 2 = 7 5 ohms, and

Consider the circuit below with I1=10 A, R1=50 ohms, R2=75 ohms, and C =200 mF. Assume the initial energy stored in the capacitor is zero.
Find the differential equation for the voltage across the capacitor for t greater than zero.(This should be similar in form to equation 7.18 in your book. Hint: Find the Norton equivalent with respect to the capacitor.)
Find the voltage across the capacitor v(t) based on the solution to the differential equation.
Find the current through the capacitor i(t) using the voltage you found in b.
Using Laplace transforms, find the current through the capacitor.
Now instead of having a constant current (step function), assume that the input current is i(t)=18 cos(0.5 t). Find the steady state current through the capacitor.
