A source-free RC circuit occurs when its dc source is suddenly dis-connected. The energy already stored in the capacitor is released to the resistors. Consider a series combination of a resistor and an initially charged capacitor (The resistor and capacitor may be the equivalent resistance and equivalent capacitance of combinations of resistors and capacitors.) Our objective is to determine the circuit response
