Problem 3.122

What charges will flow after the shorting of the switch \(S w\) in the circuit illustrated in Fig. 3.24 through sections 1 and 2 in the directions indicated by the arrows?

Reveal Answer
q1=EC2,q2=EC1C2/(C1+C2)q_{1}=\mathscr{E} C_{2}, q_{2}=-\mathscr{E} C_{1} C_{2} /\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right)
