Chapter 4, Problem 4.32P
A circuit consists of switches that open or close at t = 0, resistances, dc sources, and a single energy storage element, either an inductance or a capacitance. We wish to solve for a current or a voltage x(t) as a function of time for t > 0. Write the general form for the solution. How is each unknown in the solution determined?
