Homework Statement


For the circuit shown, find i(t) for t>0

Homework Equations


To simplify the resistors we use a Wye-Delta transform so:
R1 = RbRc/(Ra+Rb+Rc)
R2 = RcRa/(Ra+Rb+Rc)
R3 = RaRb/(Ra+Rb+Rc)

Then the Kirchoff current law on the nodes to calculate i(o).


The Attempt at a Solution



I can do the Wye-Delta transform no problem, but am having serious trouble in calculating i(o). After that it's a fairly straightforward problem.

Any help would be massively appreciated!
