Question on 2nd Order Circuit Assignment: Capacitor Voltage Divider Calculation

In summary, the speaker has a question about their 2nd order circuit assignment, specifically question 2. They mention that the circuit diagram has an inductor, but they are assuming it is a capacitor with a value of 0.2F. They then ask if the voltage across the capacitor would be a voltage divider of the top node when the switch is operated. They also suggest that Figures 1 and 2 may have been swapped and should be clarified with the professor before solving the questions.

Hey guys, I have a question about my 2nd order circuit assignment. I posted the link to my assignment, and the question I have is question 2. I know that the question saids its a capactior and the circuit diagram itself has an inductor, but here we assume that the inductor is a capacitor with 0.2F.

On with my question

So Basically I was wondering if the voltage across the capactior would be a voltage divider of the node 1 ( top node) when the switch is operated, so i would have

Vc = V1*(5+5p)/ (10+5+5p)

I think I'd clarify with the professor first -- it looks like they got Figures 1 & 2 swapped, and they are slightly different topologies. I think the figures probably should be swapped back before solving either question...
