RC Networks An alternate solution technique

Because a capacitor acts like an open circuit under steady state conditions
t ≤ to t >> to
The current flowing through the resistor in both cases is zero. Therefore, the voltage across the capacitor, vc = vin , from KVL (sum of voltages around a loop is equal to zero)
vc initial = vin = 3 V vc final = vin = 2 V
