Using a switch, we can set up a simple circuit that can easily charge and discharge a capacitor. One such circuit is shown in ( Figure 1), where C=160mF,R1=55,R2=90, and R3=60. Assume that the switch has been open for a long time (so the capacitor starts with no charge).
We then open the switch. How much current flows through R1 the moment we open the switch?
