In the circuit of Figure, = 1.2 kV, C = 6.5 F , R 1

In the circuit of Figure, ξ = 1.2 kV, C = 6.5 µF, R₁ = R_­2 = R₃ = 0.73 MΩ. With C completely uncharged, switch S is suddenly closed (at t = 0). At t = 0, what are

(a) Current i₁ in resistor 1,

(b) Current i₂ in resistor 2, and

(c) Current i₃ in resistor 3? At t = ∞ (that is, after many time constants), what are

(d) i₁,

(e) i₂, and

(f) i₃? What is the potential difference V_­2 across resistor 2 at

(g) t = 0 and

(h) t = ∞?

(i) Sketch V₂ versus t between these two extreme times.
