DC Circuits:

Please provide detailed solution, with step by step. Preferentially done on computer or on a paper and scanned. I will rate immediately if correct and accurate.

It is 1 of a 3 sub-part question -

DC circuit (15 pts) Two resistors of resistance R and two capacitors of capacitance C are combined as shown in Figure 2 to form a circuit, where the battery sources a voltage E. c) Determine, without any calculation, the current I going through the equivalent circuit immediately after the battery is connected to the circuit, and then after an infinite amount of time.

Explanation / Answer

C) Initially capacitors acts short ckt.

so, Rnet = R + R

= 2*R

so, I = emf of the battery/Rnet

= e/(2*R)

after an infinite time capacitors acts open ckts.

so, no current flow through the ckt.
