Question: The switch in this circuit has been open for a long time, and capacitor C 2 is initially uncharged when the switch is closed at

The switch in this circuit has been open for a long time, and capacitor C2 is initially uncharged when the switch is closed at time t=0. Suppose VB=10V, C1=1.4F, C2=5F, and the resistance values are Rs=360k and R=340k.
(a) Apply the Laplace transform to this circuit for times t>0, to determine the voltage drop across capacitor C2 in the s-domain, when it is written in the form
V2(s)=
a1 s + a0s(s2+ b1 s + b0)
.
a1= V/s
a0= V/s2
b1= s-1
b0= s-2
(b) Determine the non-zero poles of V2(s).(If they are real, list the one with smaller magnitude first; if they are complex, list the one with positive imaginary part first.)
s1=+ j s-1
s2=+ j s-1
(c) Determine the voltage drop v2(t) as a function of time t (in seconds), for t>0. Identify the numerical values of the parameters in whichever of the following forms is appropriate:
v2(t)= k1 eat + k2 ebt + k3(with |a|<|b|), or
v2(t)= eat [k1cos(bt)+ k2sin(bt)]+ k3.
a = s-1
b = s-1
k1= V
k2= V
k3= V
