At t = 0, the switch is at Position 1.
We note that ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Using SNB to solve this differential equation, we have:
![]()
NOTE: By differentiating, this gives us:
![]()
We need to find
:
.
Now, at
, the charge will be:

At
, switch at Position 2:
Applying the formula
again:
![]()
NOTE: The negative voltage is because the current will flow in the opposite direction through the resistor and capacitor.
Once again, we solve using Scientific Notebook:

Exact solution is:
![]()
So the current transient will be:
![]()

This expression assumes that time starts at
. However, we moved the switch to Position 2 at
, so we need:
![]()
So the complete current transient is:
for ![]()
for ![]()
The graph is very interesting:
