Essay

The switch in the circuit shown below has been closed for a long time before it is opened at t $= 0$ . Find the voltage $\mathrm { v } ( \mathrm { t } )$ across the capacitor for $\mathrm { t } \geq 0$ . Assume $\mathrm { R } _ { 1 } = 3 \mathrm { k } \Omega , \mathrm { R } _ { 2 } = 6 \mathrm { k } \Omega , \mathrm { R } _ { 3 } = 2$ $\mathrm { k } \Omega , \mathrm { R } _ { 4 } = 2 \mathrm { k } \Omega , \mathrm { R } _ { 5 } = 4 \mathrm { k } \Omega , \mathrm { I } _ { \mathrm { s } } = 0.6 \mathrm {~mA} , \mathrm {~V} _ { \mathrm { s } } = 6 \mathrm {~V} , \mathrm { C } = 0.08 \mu \mathrm { F }$ .

Definitions:

V1 Cells

Neurons located in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the brain, critical for processing visual information.

Retinal Ganglion Cells

Neurons located in the retina that receive visual information from photoreceptors via intermediate cells and transmit it to the brain.

Receptive Fields

Specific areas in the visual system where stimuli activate a neuron or a group of neurons, crucial for the processing of visual information.

Visual Cortex

The visual cortex is the part of the cerebral cortex of the brain that processes visual information, located in the occipital lobe.
