Thanks for the explanation. After the current stop flowing after that what will happen? Is the electricity continue? Is it what called AC?CWatters said:I do not understand your question. In some places you say "voltage" when you mean "current"?
Please see the graph in #21.
1) With switch open..
The voltage on node D (with respect to C) = 8V.
The voltage on node B (with respect to C) = 4V.
2) When the switch is closed...
Node D is connected to node B. This means node D and B must have the same voltage. How do we decide if this is 8V or 4V? I will explain how..The voltage on node D cannot change instantly because of the capacitors...
Q=CV
differentiate
dQ/dt = C dV/dt
dV/dt cannot be very large because it would need a very large current (dQ/dt).
If the voltage on node D cannot change quickly then the voltage on node B must change because they are connected by the switch. So what happens is the voltage on node B shoots up from 4V to 8V. So now both node D and B become 8V. This is shown in the middle of the graph.
3) After that the resistors keep trying to "pull" the voltage on node D/B from 8V back down to 4V. This is the curved part of the graph in #21.
During the curved part of the graph current flows like this..

4) After some time the nodes D and B reach 4V and the two current shown stop flowing.
