his problem analyzes the circuit in below. The capacitor has a preinitial condition of vc(0-)=10volts.
(a)Redraw the circuit in the Laplace domain, using the parallel version of the Laplace equivalent of the capacitor.
(b)Write the KCL (Kirchoff's current law)equation for the junction at the top of the capacitor.
(c)Solve your equation from part (b)for VC(s).
(d)Take the inverse Laplace transform of your answer in (c)to find vC(t)for t0.
(e)In the remaining parts of this problem, we will find the same solution using superposition. Short-circuit the voltage source in your Laplace-domain circuit in part (a)to disable it,combine the parallel resistors, and then use current division to find the Laplacedomain current through the capacitor. Let's call it IC(1)(s).
(f)Compute VC(1)(s)=IC(1)ssC.
(g)Take the inverse Laplace transform of your answer in (f)to find vC(1)(t)for t0.
(h)Now take your Laplace-domain circuit in part (a)and open-circuit the current source arising from the initial condition to disable it.Combine the parallel resistor and capacitor, and then use voltage division to find the Laplace-domain voltage across the capacitor. Let's call it VC(2)(s).
(i)Take the inv
