I have the circuit whose LTSPICE text is given below. The voltage sources and voltage controlled switches are only there to set the initial voltages on the capacitors. Thus the circuit of interest consists of two capacitors and two resistors.
I've been trying to determine an equation that describes the voltage on C2 as it varies with time, but with my limited mathematical skill, haven't been able to. I end up with differential equations that contain the voltage on C1 as well, in a way that I can't substitute for.
Any thoughts?
Sylvia.
