Hi, so after doing all of these transient circuits (RL, RC, and RLC), I wondered how a circuit with two capacitors would function, so I made up this circuit and thought that it would be an easy solve... I pretty much got it to the point where I have two differential equations but have no clue how to solve for their voltages...
\(t = 0^-:\)
\(V_{c1} = 4 V\)
\(V_{c2} = 0 V\)
\(t >= 0^+:\)
\(\frac{C_{1}dVc_{1}}{dt^2} = \frac{4 - 4V_{c1} + V_{c2}}{2}\)
and
\(\frac{C_{2}dVc_{1}}{dt^2} = \frac{V_{c1} - V_{c2}}{2}\)
Here's the circuit that I am referring to:
Any help would be wonderful, thanks!
