Question: For the circuit above: ( a ) What is the time constant for the circuit when the switch is in position 1 ? ( b

For the circuit above:
(a) What is the time constant for the circuit when the switch is in position 1?
(b) What is the time constant for the circuit when the switch is in position 2?
(c) Assume the circuit reaches steady state at position 1. What is the voltage across the capacitor?
(d) Assume the circuit reaches steady state at position 2. What is the voltage across the capacitor?
(e) Before \(\mathrm{t}=0\), the circuit is at steady state. The switch moves to position 2 at \(\mathrm{t}=0\). The switch then moves back to position 1 at \(\mathrm{t}=4\mathrm{~ms}\). Plot the voltage across the capacitor as a function of time, \( v_{\mathrm{c}}(\mathrm{t})\), in the plot below. Clearly label the time constant, and minimum/maximum voltage values, and any steady state voltage value for each transient change.
For the circuit above: ( a ) What is the time
