The switch in the circuit below is closed for a long time, and then opened at t = 0. Find v(t) for t ≥ 0. Also calculate the energy stored in the capacitor before opening of the switch. 32 SOURCE-FREE RC CIRCUIT Solution: For t < 0, the switch is closed and the capacitor is an open circuit in steady state, as represented in Fig.(a). Using voltage division Since the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously, the voltage across the capacitor at t = 0− is the same at t = 0+, or 9 ( ) (20)=15 , 0 9 3 Cv t V t   0(0) V 15Cv V  35 SOURCE-FREE RL CIRCUIT Solution: There are two ways we can solve this problem Method -1: The equivalent resistance is the same as the Thevenin resistance at the inductor terminals.
