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...
