Question

14. RLC Series Circuit. In the study of an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor, capacitor, inductor, and an electromotive force, we are led to an initial value problem of the form L dI/dt + RI + q/C = E(t) q(0) = q0, I(0) = I0. where L is the inductance in henrys, R is the resistance in ohms, C is the capacitance in farads, E(t) is the electromotive force in volts, q(t) is the charge in coulombs on the capacitor at time t, and I = dq/dt is the current in amperes. Find the current at time t if the charge on the capacitor is initially zero, the initial current is 0, L = 10henrys, R = 20ohms, C = 6260^-1farads and E(t) = 100volts. Hint: Differentiate both sides of the differential equation to obtain a homogeneous linear second order equation for I(t). Then use equation (1) to determine dI/dt at t = 0.

The charge in a series RLC circuit can be modeled using a differential equation similar to that of the spring-mass oscillator. A resistor in a circuit acts like a damper, an inductor acts like the mass, and the capacitor acts like the spring. An applied voltage (e.g. a battery or an AC power source) acts like a forcing function. The differential equation that models the charge, Q, in the RLC circuit is LQ'' + RQ' + 1/C Q = E(t) where L is the inductance in henries, R is the resistance in ohms, C is the capacitance in farads, and E(t) is the applied voltage. (a) A series circuit has a capacitor of 0.25 x 10^-6 farad and an inductor of 1 henry. If the initial charge on the capacitor is 10^-6 coulomb and there is no initial current (i.e. Q'(0) = 0), find the charge Q on the capacitor at any time t. (b) If a series circuit has a capacitor of C = 0.8 x 10^-6 farad and an inductor of L = 0.2 henry, find the resistance R so that the circuit is critically damped.

This problem concerns the electric circuit shown in the figure below. A charged capacitor connected to an inductor causes a current to flow through the inductor until the capacitor is fully discharged. The current in the inductor, in turn, charges up the capacitor until the capacitor is fully charged again. If Q(t) is the charge on the capacitor at time t, and I is the current, then I = dQ/dt. If the circuit resistance is zero, then the charge Q and the current I in the circuit satisfy the differential equation L(dI/dt) + Q/C = 0, where C is the capacitance and L is the inductance, so L(d^2Q/dt^2) + Q/C = 0. Then, just as a spring can have a damping force which affects its motion, so can a circuit; this is introduced by the resistor, so that if the resistance of the resistor is R, L(d^2Q/dt^2) + R(dQ/dt) + (1/C)Q = 0. If L = 1 henry, R = 2/5 ohm, and C = 25 farads, find a formula for the charge when (a) Q(0) = 0 and Q'(0) = 6: Q(t) = (b) Q(0) = 6 and Q'(0) = 0: Q(t) =

00:01 So for this question, using the hint, we arrive at the auxiliary equation, and the auxiliary equation is given by r squared plus 2r plus 6, 226 equals 0.
00:21 So when we solve this, we will get r equals a negative 1 plus or minus 25 i.
00:28 So i of t, the current of t, is equal to a times e to the minus t, times cosine 25t, plus b times e to the minus t times sign of 25t...
