WBahn Joined Mar 31, 2012 32,832 Apr 29, 2018 #3 If you don't know enough to show some work, then explain what you know about the following questions: What does it mean for it to be "a long time" after the switch has closed? What determines that it's been long enough? How much current is flowing into the capacitor once this "long time" has passed? Answer those (or show your best attempt) and we'll proceed from there.
