Q.1. Find expression of vc(t) after the switch is closed. The initial value of vc =4V.

Ans: 2(1+e-2t) V

Q.2. In the circuit shown below, the switch has been closed for a long time. It is opened at t=0. Find iL and
ix at (a) t=0-, (b) t=0+ (c) iL(t) and ix(t) and their value at t=0.2 ms.

Ans: i (0-) = 15mA, ix(0-) = 10mA (b) i (t) =(- ix(t)) = 15e-5000t
