Hello.
Calculate the time response, Vc(t), of the circuit shown in the attached image. Not use Laplace transforms.
I know that tau = RC in a typical RC circuit.
In general, Vc(t) = {V0 - Vf}*exp(-t/tau) + Vf, where V0 is initial voltage and Vf is final voltage.
Once charged, the capacitor behaves like a short-circuit, so I can calculate that Vf = 2,5 V. In addition, V0 = 0 V. So, I only need to know the value of tau. How could I calculate it without using Laplace transforms?
Thank you.
