At t =0 S_w is closed, if initially C_1 is uncharged and C_2 is charged to a potential difference 2epsi then find out following ("Given "C_1= C_2= C) (a) Charge on C_1 and C_2 as a function of time. (b) Find out current in the circuit as a function of time. (c) Also plot the graphs for the relations derived in part (a)

Solution :Let q charge FLOW in time 't' from the BATTERY as shown. The charge on various plates of the capacitor is as shown in the FIGURE. Now applying KVL
`epsi-q/C-iR -(q-2epsiC)/(C)=0`
`epsi-q/C-q/C+2e-iR=0`
`3epsi=(2q)/(C)+iR`

`3epsi-iR=(2q)/(C)`
`3epsi-iRC=2q`
`(dq)/(dt)RC=3epsiC-2q`
`underset(0)OVERSET(q)int (dq)/(2epsiC-2q)=underset(0)overset(t)int (dt)/(RC)`
`-1/2ln ((3Cepsi-2q)/(3Cepsi))=t/(RC)`
`ln ((3epsiC-2q)/(3epsiC))=-(2t)/(RC)`
`3epsiC-2q=3epsiC e^(-2t//RC)`
`3epsiC (1-e^(-2t//RC))=2q`
`q=3/2epsiC(1-e^(-2t//RC)`
`i=(dq)/(dt)=(3epsi)/(R) e^(-2t//RC)`
On plate B `q' =2epsiC-q`
`=2epsiC-3/2epsiC+3/2epsiCe^(-2t//RC)`

`=(epsiC)/(2)+3/2epsiCe^(-2t//RC) =(epsiC)/(2) [1+3e^(-2t//RC)]`
