Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 2**
Find the expression for the voltage and current of the capacitor as a function of time for the following circuit. Sketch the voltage and current as a function of time.
**Circuit Description:**
- **Voltage Source:** 12 V
- **Capacitor:** 200 μF
- **Resistors:**
- Four resistors in the circuit, each of 2 kΩ
- One 4 kΩ resistor in series with one of the 2 kΩ resistors
**Switch:**
- The switch is at position \( t = 0 \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The circuit shows a series and parallel combination of resistors arranged with a capacitor.
- The 12 V source is connected across the parallel combination of a 200 μF capacitor and a 2 kΩ resistor.
- The 4 kΩ resistor is in series with another 2 kΩ resistor, creating a potential divider.
- A switch indicates the starting point for \( t = 0 \).
**Objective:**
- Derive the mathematical expressions for the voltage and current across the capacitor as time progresses after \( t = 0 \).
- Create sketches of how the voltage and current vary over time as functions of time.
