Problem 1a: Capacitors and Resistors
Consider the circuit shown below. Suppose that the switch (S) has been CLOSED for a really really really long time. The
battery provides a voltage epsi=1.0 Volts (which does not change as a function of time). The resistances are given by R1=
2Omega,R2=1Omega and the capacitor has a capacitance C=1mu F. Suddenly at time t=0, you OPEN the switch.
(i) Right after time t=0(instantaneously after the switch is OPEN), what is the current flowing through each
resistor and the battery?
(ii) The switch is OPEN for a really really really long time. What is the current through each resistor and the
battery?
(iii) The switch is OPEN for t=1 microsecond, such that the capacitor is not fully charged. At this time, what is the
current flowing through each resistor and the battery?
