Determine the current iC through the capacitor in Figure P5.37 for all time. Assume DC steady-state conditions for t < 0. Also assume:

V1 = 10V, C = 200?F, R1 = 300m?, and R2 = R3 = 1.2 k?.


Analysis:

There are two conditions to examine: t<0 and t>0. When t<0, there is no source attached to the circuit. Therefore, there exists no current through the capacitor when t<0.

The current through a charging capacitor at any time, t, is given by the equation:
