Hi Berkeman, Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out! Your explanation cleared a lot of it up for me. So, since voltage is constant in R2 as soon as the switch is closed, does that mean that the time constant when the switch is closed is only dependent on R1 and C? I don’t have...

Using the Capacitor voltage vs. time graph, I calculated the time constant τ when the switch is closed (capacitor charging) and open (capacitor discharging). I calculated τclosed = 2.5s and τopen = 3.75s. Since the resistors are in parallel when the switch is closed, I assumed that 1/Req = 1/R1...
