a) Initially there is current in all branches of the circuit (uncharged capacitors act like wires - current can pass through).

b) $I_i = 0.00436 A$

c)

d) Current goes through all branches without a capacitor (charge capacitors act like a break in the circuit - no current)

e) $I_f = 0.0036 A$

f) If the switch is opened, the capacitors would discharge through the resistors below.
