**Problem #13: Circuit Analysis**

**Problem Statement:**

The switch in the circuit has been open for a long time (resulting in no current flow) and then closes at time \( t = 0 \). Determine the voltages \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \), and the currents \( i_1 \) and \( i_2 \) at three distinct times:

1. Just before the switch closes.
2. Immediately after the switch closes.
3. A long time after the switch closes.

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

- **Components:**
  - A switch that closes at \( t = 0 \).
  - A \( 30 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - A \( 10 \, \Omega \) resistor in series with the \( 30 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - A \( 50 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel with the combination of the \( 10 \, \Omega \) and the \( 30 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - A \( 20 \, \Omega \) resistor in parallel with the \( 50 \, \Omega \) resistor.
  - A \( 60 \, \text{V} \) DC voltage source.
  - Capacitors labeled \( C_1 \) and two nodes for voltage measurements, \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \).
  
- **Currents:**
  - \( i_1 \) flows through the \( 30 \, \Omega \) resistor and the parallel network.
  - \( i_2 \) flows through the \( 50 \, \Omega \) resistor.

**Analysis Steps:**

1. **Before the Switch Closes:**
   - The circuit is open, so no current flows through it, and \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \) need to be determined based on the initial conditions (capacitor voltages).

2. **Just After the Switch Closes:**
   - The circuit becomes active, allowing current to flow. The initial conditions of the voltages across the capacitors and the changes in current flows must be analyzed.

3. **A Long Time After the Switch Closes:**
   - The circuit reaches a steady state where the effects of the capacitors have stabilized. Analyze the currents and voltages in this steady state.
