A light bulb, a capacitor, and a nine-volt battery are wired up in series in a simple RC circuit. The light bulb has a resistance of 2.0 kΩ and the capacitor has a capacitance of 950 μF.
(a) What is the electric current in the circuit at the exact moment the battery is connected (at t = 0)?
(b) What is the electric current in the circuit 1 second after the battery was connected?
(c) What is the electric current in the circuit 5 seconds after the battery was connected?
