Homework Equations



Vx(t)=Is*t/Ceq




The Attempt at a Solution



I tried using voltage divider by capacitors, so Vy=Vx*c1/(c1+c2) but I don't think that this is right.

There's supposed to be a wire going down on the right. Also, the current source Is is pointing upwards

Right. If you want to create unmangled ascii drawings, consider wrapping them in "
