Consider the RC circuit which has R = 5ohm, C = 1/50F, E(t) =100V. If the capacitor is uncharged initially, determine the current in the circuit for t greater than or equal to 0.

Step 1
The equation for the current in an RC circuit over time is given by: I(t) = E/R * e^(-t/RC) where: - I(t) is the current at time t, - E is the electromotive force (voltage of the DC source), - R is the resistance, - C is the capacitance, Show more…

An $R L C$ series circuit has a voltage source given by $E(t)=40 \cos 2 t \mathrm{V},$ a resistor of $2 \Omega,$ an inductor of $1 / 4 \mathrm{H},$ and a capacitor of 1$/ 13 \mathrm{F}$ . If the initial current is zero and the initial charge on the capacitor is 3.5 $\mathrm{C}$ , determine the charge on the capacitor for $t>0$
