Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 5: Transient and Steady-State Response in RC Circuit
#### Problem Statement:
Consider the circuit diagram below. Find \(I_x(t)\) for \(t < 0\) and \(t \ge 0\).
#### Given Circuit Description:
- A DC voltage source of 36 V is connected in series with a 2 kΩ resistor.
- This series combination is connected in parallel with a 100 μF capacitor.
- The capacitor is connected in series with a 6 kΩ resistor.
- At the junction between the 6 kΩ resistor and the capacitor, there is a branch containing a switch and a 3 kΩ resistor. The switch is initially open.
- The switch closes at \(t = 0\), connecting the 3 kΩ resistor into the circuit.
- This branch is connected in parallel to a 4 kΩ resistor and a 12 V DC voltage source.
- The current \(I_x\) flows through the 6 kΩ resistor.
#### Diagram Explanation:
1. **36V Voltage Source**:
- Shown on the left side supplying 36 V.
2. **2 kΩ Resistor**:
- Connected immediately in series with the 36V source.
3. **100 μF Capacitor**:
- Connected in parallel to the 2 kΩ resistor and the parallel branch contains the capacitor and the 6 kΩ resistor.
4. **6 kΩ Resistor**:
- Series connection with the mentioned capacitor.
- Current \(I_x\) flows through this resistor.
5. **Switch and 3 kΩ Resistor**:
- This branch becomes active when the switch closes at \(t = 0\).
- Initially open, thus not affecting the circuit for \(t < 0\).
6. **4 kΩ Resistor and 12V Voltage Source**:
- Another parallel branch with respect to the 6 kΩ resistor and the switch, connected in parallel with a 4 kΩ resistor and 12V voltage source.
#### Required Analysis:
- **For \(t < 0\)**:
- Determine the steady-state current \(I_x\) through the 6 kΩ resistor before the switch closes.
- **For \(t \ge 0\)**:
- Determine the transient and steady-state current \(I_x(t)\) after the switch has closed.
