Problem-Solving Strategy: Determine and label the direction of the
current in the given circuit. Apply the point rule once and then the
loop rule as many times as needed to get the same number of equations as unknowns in the circuit. Note: Follow the sign convention given on the next slide when apply the loop rule.

Initially, the capacitor is uncharged. What is the current in the circuit when
the switch is closed; that is, at t = 0? How does the current change over time? What is the charge stored on the
capacitor at t = 0? How does the charge change
