Homework Statement
A 10nF and 20nF capacitor is independently charged to respectively 40V and 50V. The positive sides of the two capacitors are connected, and a 1kΩ resistor is connected across the negative terminals. Find equations for total voltage VT(t) across the resistor and voltages across each capacitor V1(t) and V2(t)
Homework Equations
V(t)=V0e-t/RC
The Attempt at a Solution
It seems VT(0) = 50-40 = 10V.
Can we use VT(t)=V2(t)-V1(t), since the capacitors are connected positive to positive? In that case what value for R do we use for each capacitor?
