**Title:** Determining Initial Current in a Circuit
**Problem Statement:**
Consider \( R = 60 \, \Omega \) for the circuit given below.
**Circuit Diagram Description:**
- The circuit includes a current source of \( 3u(-t) \, \text{A} \).
- A capacitor of \( 2.5 \, \mu\text{F} \) is connected in parallel.
- There is a \( 2 \, \Omega \) resistor and a \( 20 \, \text{mH} \) inductor.
- A switch is initially open at \( t = 0 \), connected in series with the inductor and a resistor \( R \).
- The current directions are labeled as \( i_C \), \( i_L \), and \( i_R \).
**Objective:**
Determine \( i_C(0^+) \).
**Instructions:**
Fill in your answer to determine \( i_C(0^+) \).
**Answer Box:**
The value of \( i_C(0^+) \) is \_\_\_\_\_ A. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)
**Guidance for Students:**
- Analyze the given circuit and consider the initial conditions just after the switch is closed at \( t = 0^+ \).
- Apply Kirchhoff’s laws and relevant equations for capacitors and inductors to solve for \( i_C(0^+) \).
This exercise is designed to test your understanding of transient analysis in RLC circuits.
